Weekly short runs are more important than the weekend long run. You will see the benefits of being regular with shorter runs in a few weeks, all the pains will disappear.

It was good to read about all your experiences, the descriptions of the scenery and landscape.

The MDS thing is a long term project (will medium term, as all of us are dead in the long term). I have no misconceptions on my current ablities.<BR/><BR/>As regards your query, 10k+ (is a very vague term, is it 10 or 12, 14 or 16 or 20???). If its closer to 10 and you have to rest for 3 days, means that you need to train more with shorter runs. Get to a stage where you can do a 15k, with a two day rest.<BR/><BR/>If its mainly calf pain, its nothing serious and you just need to train more regularly (with shorter distances) and have patience. <BR/><BR/>Its difficult to say if you can and can't run if there are aches and pains, its with time (as you get to know your body better) that you will realise if its a serious injury or some regular pain. Never ignore injuries, when in doubt rest.

That was the 80k plan.<BR/>Pole vaulting is what you're onto ;)<BR/><BR/>Also,I need some feedback, after my 10k+ runs I cannot(actually do not) run for 3 days to let the aches in legs(mainly calf) completely subside.<BR/>If I try then get some shin pains,and poor run.<BR/><BR/>Is this normal..when you set out do you have previous run's aches/pains ,safe to ignore or risking injury.<BR/><BR/>Sorry to divert yr blog comments.sandhuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01292722724580102579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22785434.post-55090179925633658112007-08-02T12:15:00.000+05:302007-08-02T12:15:00.000+05:30Guess I am trying to raise the bar for myself each...Guess I am trying to raise the bar for myself each time. MOB is similar to MDS, the effort involved is similar, except for the temperature (but the day temperture in bombay is 35degree C on many days and MDS has 35-43degrees), which should not be too difficult to manage.<BR/>Plus MDS is a more glamourous event (and more challenging) and which makes corporate sponsorship easier. I don't plan to run without sponsorship for such ultramarathons, as I will be puting in a lot of manhours preparing for such a event.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22785434.post-1409383851072997522007-08-01T22:58:00.000+05:302007-08-01T22:58:00.000+05:30How about a nice cool Marathon of Britain?http://w...How about a nice cool Marathon of Britain?<BR/>http://www.ambitionevents.com/mob/beanzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04255641123163751995noreply@blogger.com
