Why the high HR? I can't surely be detrained after just a few rest days in the last 2 weeks? My HR was high immediately after returning from Lanzarote. I'm concerned that I either overtrained, or picked up a virus while I was there (or on the flight back). Hopefully things will sort themselves out over the coming week. I just need to hang on and not panic. Easier written than done!
Nervy times!
| Monday | Rest | pm: massage | |
| Tuesday | Rest | Big twinge at lunchtime put me off the idea of running that evening | |
| Wednesday | 5.2 miles | pm: easy run | Leg feeling much better |
| Thursday | 9 miles | am:4 easy pm: 5 steady | Now getting shin splint pain! |
| Friday | 4 miles | am: 4 easy pm: massage | |
| Saturday | 7 miles | am: 7 easy 9:00/mile 122 bpm | kept offroad as shin still sore on road. Pace/HR not good despite being offroad |
| Sunday | 20 miles | 8:15/mile 131bpm | HR 6bpm higher than last time I ran that route. Run went well though - feeling strong |
| Total | 45.2 miles |

Increased heart rate, shin-splint like pains, first injury for a long time... set that against a background of a pretty heavy training schedule which was topped by an intensive week in Lanzarotte, and a mild case of over-training might well be a possibility. It sounds like you're back on track though, and if it was overtraining the taper will help. Best of luck!
