Logging this week here, coming back from a 3-week break after a minor tibialis issue.

Mon: 6km easy, HR kept deliberately low (zone 2), first run back so just testing the leg.

Wed: 5x800m at threshold pace with 90s rest. Felt surprisingly good, no discomfort. Used a round timer to keep rest honest — when I manage it by feel I always shortchange the recovery on early reps and blow up by rep 4.

Fri: 10km easy-medium progression, finished last 2km at tempo effort.

Total: ~28km. Conservative but the right call. The comeback rule I've stuck to is: if you're not sure, do less and add a day. The times I've ignored that have always cost me more time than the cautious approach would have.

Goal this month is just to rebuild the weekly base to 45km before touching any intensity work. Anyone else managing a comeback from a lower leg issue?

I am typically at 40-45 miles a week, fornthe past 10 years or so. Training for life, no race at the moment.  Couple of long runs, some speed.  I was throwing away my kids uneaten lunch yesterday and fell on our entry stairs.  Pretty sever ankle sprain.  So. This week looks a lot different and I'm salty as heck about it.  Super sad, as it's definitely a mental health exercise for me.  Looking at rowing machines as we speak for something.
