2nd Run calves still hurt

Starting the week off strong with a Monday run. Before I went out I looked for a little bit for a training program to follow. I'm still considering the August 8th triple threat and some friends are doing a 5K on Mar 11. Most of the training programs are 16 weeks which is too soon to start for Aug. I'm considering just focusing on form and speed for now before getting into either a half or full marathon program.

I did the Moov now Run Efficiency Level 5. There were 3 intervals that put me at 1.2 miles. Both cadence and impact were improved. I'm wondering if the lack of heavy rain had anything to do with it. There were some annoyances as the Moov was disconnected twice in the first interval and once in the second. After that no problems.

For the form itself, it felt like I was doing a better job using my mid to fore foot area. My heel would only lightly touch the ground, which is great. What was not great is the pain, my calves hurt a lot. I'll take tomorrow off and try again on Wednesday. I tried to take it easy. Going down stairs is hard right now.

After that I did 6 intervals of Speed Endurance level 1. The target pace was 13 mins, so it wasn't a problem. Next time I'll start with level 4. The slow pace was ok given my calves so painful. My cadence was pretty good as well at 181 for this part.

I'm trying to sync all runs between Strav, moov, and runkeeper. It's a pain. I'm also trying to log all my food with myfitnesspal. We'll see how that goes.

On a lighter note, I forgot to take off my glasses before the shower! I'm actually surprised that I hadn't made this mistake before.
