After a great week comes the bad one. It was a bad running week for me with only one run because of my hurting leg.
The pain came few weeks ago. At the time I just skipped a session to rest a little. Two weeks after that, I skipped again a session because of the same problem. But this week was worth than that!
It was strange because I did a big and great run on Sunday but on Monday and the day after that, I felt nothing. I had to run on Wednesday but when I woke up, my leg was hurting more than the previous times (even when doing nothing). The feeling was also different and I, of course, decided not to run. I put ice twice a day again and I felt better on Friday. Nevertheless, because the pain was stronger than the previous times, I decided not to run again.
I almost feel nothing anymore so I ran this morning. I didn't want to put too much pressure on it so I just did an endurance run of approximately 9 km. The purpose was also to see if the pain comes back or not.
It's been almost 7 hours since the end of my run and I still don't feel any pain. But I know pain can come the next day so I don't make any projection.
I don't exactly know what I'm going to do for the rest of my training (3 weeks left) but I think I will continue but not at the same intensity. Maybe I will do two sessions a week instead of three. I will see with the evolution of the pain.

Here is my Strava run. As you can see, even with a week of inactivity, my pace was still good (and with a low heart rate).
