Drop

On yesterday’s run, the pain in my left Achilles tendon was back with a vengeance, so today I went looking in the wardrobe for the orange box with my Pegasus 36s to get a slightly higher drop (10 mm). In general, running with a higher drop means relatively less pressure on the feet and more on the knees, and indeed, today’s 16 km felt much better, even as I ran significantly faster.

Expecting to reach 2,000 km of running this year by the end of the week, I know I am very fortunate when it comes to injuries overall. I also know that I need to take more rest days, especially now that I am also biking and swimming. It is just that Strava is so addictive ;-)
