During a 400-meter interval training session, I suffered a small tear in my right calf. I’ve had acupuncture and am currently seeing a physical therapist. I haven’t been able to run for the last two weeks, and I hope to be able to resume running in the next four weeks in time for Boston. I was hoping to run a 2:45 marathon, but I think I could aim for 2:50 given the current situation. Are these expectations realistic, or should I reconsider them? Not running the race is not an option.
Hi @JuanKuster ,
This is unfortunate as I can see you were building well. Please use Workout Wizard to switch to alternate sessions to cross train (swimming, cycling, water running, gym). Once you resume running, do only easy aerobic running (no HIIT). Recovery from injury is individualistic so please stick close to your therapist and fingers crossed the tear isn’t too bad.
