The conditions, time and course were virtually identical to yesterday’s run and the results were nearly so, though I managed to cut two seconds off my pace, bringing it down to 4:48/km (or 15 seconds faster overall, 24:07 vs. 24:22). The left foot held up perhaps even better than yesterday and the Achilles tendon was fine until I overextended a bit maneuvering around a large puddle and even then it was no more sore than it usually would get, even less so.
I’d elaborate but just read the previous entry. My next run will probably be Friday as I’m not keen on trying three days in a row, at least not yet. I’m undecided on whether Friday’s run will be another 5K run or something longer. The reduced discomfort of the 5K runs is rather appealing, even if the distance seems that much wimpier compared to my usual 11Ks.
