Ouch, ouch, ouch! Today hurt, especially afterward. My left calf is killing me tonight! While I was pounding away 6 miles at the school I started thinking about the different aches and the drag that I feel and when it started. I ran 10 less miles last week than I had planned and I took an additional rest day, I really though this week I would be back at it, feeling good. But, that's just not the case. One thing I changed about 10 days ago, was my intervals. I was running .35 miles, walking .20 miles and I started walking .20, then running .80. Nearly cutting my walk distance in half per mile. I didn't start doing it on purpose, I think I started doing it when time was tight before my childcare ran out and it worked so I just adopted the new interval all the time. I hope that the interval change, plus adding four miles per week is what did it and if I change my intervals back I can adapt to the increase in mileage. I changed the mileage last week without much long-term success, so, fingers crossed, changing intervals will give me the change I need.
