4 days without running

November 12, 2009

The race on Sunday was the last time I ran. The heel is causing quite some trouble, so I decided to do some days of cross-training. Maybe the pain is not too intense yet and if in my younger days I would probably have tried to run through the pain. But I learnt some things over the last 5-10 years of my running career. One thing was, that there is no use to run with pain and kill too much time recovering when it’s already too late. As a consequence, the last days were marked by cycling, core/strength training and training in the water.

Additionally I got some Physiotherapy and my right leg got some colours from Kinesio-Tape:
