What worse you can do when you just have purchased new shoes? Yes, you guested it correct… You take these new shoes next day for a 13 km run. Great idea… You just need to be prepared for massive pain.
I think that I can called that training session ‘the worst one ever’. I wasn’t tired, legs were working OK but heels hurt me so bad (beyond imagination). Never felt like that before. Sometimes I was so tired that I could barely walk, sometimes I thought I will grow up after run but this time… this time was horrible. Extra 10 per km cause of that pain. Of course if you feel pain you are trying to avoid it somehow (in that situation best solution would be just to stop running but that wasn’t an option really) so I have started subconsciously put more pressure on the front of the foot and cause of that developed a knee pain… Nice work Alan. Just 3 days to race and you are injured.
Now knee is OK but heel in the right foot… ohh still painful. Had to cancel evening run on treadmill (damn it – runners frustration).
Hopefully everything will be fine till Sunday. If not, that’s just 10 km. Painkillers will fix me.

Yep. Still very painful. Training load very small, not getting better. Race pack for Sunday already waiting…
