It was supposed to be the third hard training week, but due to pain in my back, glutes, and Achilles tendon I had to take an easy week instead. Where the pain is coming from isn’t entirely clear yet — it probably radiates down from the back into the legs. Early last week it was bad enough that walking pain-free wasn’t possible. So there wasn’t much sport on the schedule:
- complete rest day
- core stability & swimming
- easy bike session
- core stability & swimming
- easy 1h run, almost pain-free
- core stability & swimming & a very short easy run
- 3h easy bike ride
We’ll see how this develops. Today the pain is pretty bad again.
