2 weeks post injury, back to near normal and ready to log some mileage
80km this week
Mon 10k@ 4:45 with walks
Tues 18k @4:30 pretty sore by the end
Wed 10k @4:22 - did about 3k at tempo pace and paid the price with a flare of pain
Thurs off
Fri 8.5k @4:20 - stopped short as still sore
Sat rest
Sun 33.8k@4:27.
Long run with Rob, very happy with the consistent pace, over most of the run. Minimised stops as the ankle gets more sore when it cools down. It felt good except on a couple of winding sections and any sharp left turns. Rob pushed the pace up to 4:10s 28-32k, and I almost held on dropping only about 20m.
This week I'll hope to get up to 100k, staying at MP fastest and on flat straight roads and paths. I'm feeling alot more confident after todays run, and glad this sprain was minor compared to others'. Having said that, I can see why in other sports (eg football), ankle sprains are such a worry, because I still cant do any significant lateral movement.

Good to hear you are recovering so quickly.
Just be careful on these Dalkeith verges.
Glad you are on the mend. 100km this week sets you up nicely for the last few big weeks before Perth.
Welcome back ! That's one solid long run considering the ankle problem earlier.
good long run! be patient. sounds like ankle is healing. keep at it...
Hope the ankle is holding up well, great run on Sunday.
Link for Everest Trip, only issue is that it is when we'll do Boston next year but worth comparing to others.
