Great Winter Run

I entered this big event of over 3000 runners with the intent of a slow steady jog to test fitness and recovery from injury. Positioned in the last wave I headed off comfortably and took the steep hill with ease feeling pretty good. Just at the start of the descent my heel began to ache with the pain very quickly becoming unbearable and had to walk for a few minutes. The pain eased off enough for me to run fairly freely over the last km.

The time (26 min 30 secs) wasn't too bad and would have been very good if I hadn't had to stop.

Knee also was fine during the race and the day after.
