About Me
End of season block
Focus: To finish the summer with a final spell of hard lactate tolerance & speed endurance work - and racing a couple of track races (and several road races) in order to get at least one decent result on 800 m this summer. So far only 2:02, I want to see a sub 2:00 time before winter begins.

Just more evidence of change. keep the pressure on with faster work. Dont be too frightened to do this more often. You are strong and will cope as long as the session is short.
You might also consider splitting some sessions into two - AM and PM and doing 60% volume for total 80% effort in each. This should allow a faster overall speed for the day.
Yes - what I'm feeling is my Achilles tendonds are taking punishment from running fast on the track - nothing serious, but enought to remind me to not repeat the same mistake as in the winter; ignoring it hurts.
It's nothing compared to the winter now - and running twice a day wouldn't hurt as long as I keep to forrest tracks - just need to stay of that tarmac as much as possible and when on track only doing high quality stuff - which I suppose is true for summer anyway.

Yes
I tried to do all my speed work in spikes on grass and in flats on tracks. I saved just the absolute speed technique sessions for the track. I think that tendonitis is an inevitable consequence of a large adaptation from winter to summer and is a good reason for keeping close to speed in the winter. Still, it can be managed.
Well it ain't as bad as in the winter - I'm just aware of it. Yesterday (Monday) I expected more soreness but it was mainly numbness in the lower calves - it didn't hurt...
And from now on we are keeping speed - right?
