Ran a steady 10k this evening - really pleased! Exactly 9 minute miling average on the watch, which is steady but enough to do the marathon sub 4 hours if I continued at that pace. Dull ache in the right soleus which I've iced and will apply anti-inflammatory cream in a bit. No referred tightness in the IT band or right hip flexor as I've experienced before. Although it is a very long way to go and the muscle is definitely far from 100%, getting to 10k feels like a great step forward as long as the injury doesn't flare up tomorrow. It's going to be a bit of a battle to be ready in 7 weeks time (especially with a holiday in the middle), but this feels like I've fought back a significant bit of territory (with some oil fields on it)...
