7 weeks out from half marathon….an injury has appeared 🫠 This is the first injury/roadblock I have suffered since 2021. I’ve been diligent and proud to have been doing so well and have conquered 2 marathons in a week this year with no injury…then training for a little half…no bueno. What’s happened? I’ve over strengthened and stressed my calfs to the point walking yesterday was agony. Can you believe it? Too much overload, too much strength (yes it’s possible) and I’ll be honest, it’s something that’s hard to fully be aware of when you’re your own coach. That on top of teaching 60 classes/PT sessions in 3 weeks has probably been a lot 🙆🏾‍♀️ So this week volume will go right down. Trusty @wattbike will be in use, intervals will be done but on the rowing machine and then after a week off running I will see what next weekend has to hold. This is your reminder that a injury yes is a setback, but it’s also a moment to reflect on what has led you to that point. But hey in other news in classic Emma style we looking at April/May marathons for next year…an ultra is also on the cards 👀 race ideas welcome🙏🏾 So Sunday Runday becomes Cycle Sunday ☺️ @alexbeer7 with the throwback shots from our dune shoot ✨ #HalfMarathonTraining #Overcome #YouGotThis
