Tue 10/19 - PM 45 minutes incl 1600 in 5:30

Failed attempt at doing repeats at some kind of faster pace. Brought down by the left leg, the downward spiral continues. Spent all day worrying about the heel and achilles, which loosened up within 10 minutes of starting to warm up. Thought the left thigh was doing better, but still a mess from the weekend, and the weekend before, etc. Hoping to do 5 or so 1600 repeats, felt the adductor and iliopsoas starting to tighten up by the end of the first one. This made it so the effort didn't match the pace of course, and when it persisted into the second rep I knew it was time to stop. Very very frustrating, jogged straight home and spent the next half hour doing compressions on the thigh. Found a spot with massive adhesions, likely gracilis and/or adductor magnus. Don't know if I did any good or just made it worse, hopefully broke something up though. If the leg feels like this next weekend, I'll be a DNF plain and simple. Finished the day feeling more injured than ever. The comparisons to last year when I could only jog and not truly train are becoming more unavoidable.
