April 4th started the Build 1 period. The Build periods are tough as the high intensity training ramps up a bit, but the volume comes down a little. Its structured this way due to the demands of the workouts. I may not do enough high-intensity training as I still restrict myself to one interval/high intensity run session and one on the bike per week. If I do a brick workout on the weekend, it may include some short, hard efforts. Or if there's a race that I hop into, of course that will be tough.
The calf issue I was experiencing kept me experiencing it, but it got better. I know I should have backed off, but last Tuesday I had some cruise intervals to do so I figured I should experiment a little to see how the calf is. I jogged to the local track with the intent of doing four 1 mile intervals at race pace with a 3 min recover in between each. During the first mile interval the left calf started complaining a little. The recovery jog calmed it down. During the second mile, the calf got more ticked off, but I ran thru it--the pain wained and calmed, then got worse. That was it. I jogged home and called it a day. The calf calmed down on the way home so that was good.
