I'm in the need for Speed

After the Tokyo Marathon which was last Feb.26,2012

I injured the outer side of my left Calf muscle TWICE !!!

The 1^st  injury was because I strained the calf muscle when I tried to run faster.

The 2^ND time I re injured my calf muscle is because when the leg “ Seemed “ to be getting better I would push the pace which aggravated the injury more.

Another reason why I re injured myself is I was still running 5 – 6 days a week and averaging 80 km a week.

I never really gave my legs the much needed rest.

Anyway, after the Double Whammy.

My leg is 95 % better and no more major pain

THANK YOU GOD !

but what I notice is my speed really suffered.

I run slower now and admittedly I struggle to maintain a decent pace.

I have been doing some speed work lately.

I incorporate 5 sets of 500 meters sprints in my daily 13 to 15 km run which seems to work 

Hopefully in a few weeks I’m back to my Racing Form.

Hopefully !

I'M IN THE NEED FOR SPEED!
