No running today. Yesterday's 4 km did its job — rhythm restored, nothing spent. The only job today is to arrive at Friday's quality session with full freshness.
Open questions
2
How did the foot feel yesterday evening after the 4 km, especially around the 5th metatarsal?
Is Friday morning still the best slot for the tempo session?
Friday: first quality session
Tempo 5 km at 5:45-5:50/km with 10 min easy warmup and cooldown. This is the first real effort since the metatarsal. Keep it controlled — finish wanting more, not proving fitness. If the foot talks, cut to easy and log it.
Sunday: 16 km dress rehearsal
Long run at conversational pace — the furthest you will go before taper. If Friday and Sunday both land clean, this is the best training week since the injury. Two sessions that count, nothing else.
