I was still quite a few miles short of my original target for the week but didn't attempt to make them up. In the afternoon, although it felt too hot to do anything at all, I joined the canal at the fire station and headed down to Dorchester Avenue, returning via Great Western Road and North Woodside Road. The shin felt better than it had all week although after 1.5 miles I felt a sharp pain which recurred a few times during the remainder of the run. I was concerned it might be a stress fracture but it (probably) wasn't painful enough and I seemed to recover very quickly afterwards. Finished the 5.40 miles in 40:35, average pace 7:31/mile, HR 142. Later on I continued with the stretching and ankle mobility exercises which had seemed to be helping.
Pace splits (ave. HR): 7:58 (132), 7:21 (143), 7:28 (141), 7:32 (144), 7:16 (146), 7:33 (149)
HR zones: 2.2%, 23.2%, 74.6%, 0%, 0%
Weekly total: 32 miles
