My feedback thread is here.
Overloads in the lower leg (calf, shin, foot) are usually the result of a weakness further up the posterior chain. Lots of runners I see have weak glutes and they use their calf muscles to propel rather than glutes/achilles etc.
My slowest 100 miler ever but the heat really did take it out of everyone. The evening/early morning temperature dropped and it was the complete opposite and freezing.
Anyway, job done and onto the next one in 5 weeks time.

I missed my run this morning.

I have a local 10k on Sunday but I hurt my foot last Saturday and it’s still tender so looks like I’ll have to give it a miss.
mcsdan said: Also, after reading this, I made a conscious effort to try and not push off with my feet so much putting strain on my lower leg and instead lift my legs to move me forward...made a huge difference. Legs didn’t feel fatigued as early as normal and had next to no niggling for the entire run. So thanks for that @mcsdan
My lower back is sore now, but I have bad posture and lower back pain sometimes anyway and it’s probably a result of going from a 5km longest run this year, straight to 10km.
My mate has had his place going spare at the Bristol 10k this weekend which I might do, mostly for the free t shirt.

Thanks! It could be a challenge of not having enough spare time, I may have to be a bit flexible when I'm travelling a lot, we'll see how it goes.

Absolutely dunzo now.
Sore legs!
