Any advice gratefully received.
I was a little silly yesterday, realising I had been lackadasical with training for Sunday's 10K run I went out and ended up doing a near-10K undulating circuit (and was pleased with my time to say I haven't run for 3 weeks)
Cycled to work this morning and I only had that "rewarding ache" - you know when your muscles say "I'm here! Glad you remembered me!" but I may have made this worse - decided to try for a faster ride than normal and dug out the Virtuoso which has been recently retrieved from a shortarsed mate and I realised en-route (and allen key-less) that I hadn't raised the saddle back enough to its normal height for me.
Perhaps it's with use of the muscle anyway, and maybe made worse by a poor setup with increased use of the muscle group, but up and down stairs is now a real pain!
Rest tomorrow - I do need to go to work in the car anyway - I was hoping to get another 10K jog in on Friday, an intermediate hill-walk on Saturday and then have a real good go at beating my previous chip time but I'm not sure now if that's a good idea.
If the pain up stairs fades by Friday, should I stick to plan? Or put it down to experience, rest up and just take Sunday's run as it comes, and learn for the Sheffield run in a few months?
I'd be gutted if I had to walk any stretch on Sunday as it's only my 2nd run, the goal of my first last month was to do it in whatever time without stopping or walking, so to do so this time round would feel like a real retrograde step
