20k training W10: the leg is fine (RunForSteem)

Last Sunday I wrote about probably the worst running week since a long time. My leg was hurting I didin't know what to do. As I said it in this post, I followed the advice of some fellow runners on Steemit. Here is what I did this week.

First run: endurance run

I did 45' on Tuesday at a normal pace of 4'49"/km. I tried to keep my heart rate below 155 but it was not easy as the run had some hills.

Second run: endurance run (again)

I did a second endurance run on Friday. I did it a bit faster but I managed to keep my heart rate below 153 on average despite the hills similar to the first run.

Third run: short run

Today I did a very short run: only 6 km. I didn't do a run that short in a long time. But I didn't have a lot of time and 6 km is better than nothing. I did it a bit faster than the two previous runs which is normal for a short run like that.


The pace at the beginning of the run is not correct. It's just because my watch didn't get the GPS signal directly.

In total, it was a nice week. I did less kilometers and I think it is better for my leg since I don't feel pain anymore. I think I will do approximately the same next week.
