Now I'd entered the Adidas Silverstone Half Marathon late last year, before I got my place on the London to Amsterdam bike ride. Hence why I have been balancing my training miles both on and off of my bike.
My running training has gone well, with a training plan where I have been increasing my mileage gradually over the last few weeks.
With the event itself taking place on Sunday 13th March, I completed my longest training run so far of 10.2 miles on Saturday.
It was a little tougher than I had imagined, but I completed it at a good pace and within my target time of just under 2 hours.
But the training run came at a cost, as my achilles became a little swollen and very tight throughout that afternoon and evening. So when I awoke on Sunday to go and do a 35 mile training ride on my bike, I had to quickly rethink and sadly cancel my training ride, as I couldn't take the chance of making the injury worse.
I took some advice from a friend, who advised a couple of days rest.
So my training diary looks a little lean this week. But hopefully I should be running tomorrow and then back on my bike at the weekend.
