Hi All,
I signed up for Tremblant in September- hired a coach with intentions to use the full year to build up to IM Tremblant.
Things were going great for a couple months when I acquired a weird running injury in early December - nerves in my lower back were effecting my right calf. I rehabbed from Dec- mid Feb and thought I was in the clear. I had a few weeks of pain free running building up to 2 ez 30' runs and a 50' "long run". Then, stupidly, I ran a 5k St. Paddy's day race. Two days after that the injury came back. I rehabbed again from March 19th until last week and now I believe I am finally in the clear.
Since I already paid the money, I am going to do the race. I fully anticipate that it is not going to be pretty at this point. Swimming and cycling I am in pretty good shape and confident.
My question is: What is my best plan of action? Should I just focus on building up my long run to as high as possible over the next 16 weeks? Any advice welcome.
