Chaps & Chapettes,
During the second half of last year; when I first started running, and then minimal/BF running, I really enjoyed running for the most part. Yes, I had some runs which felt a bit tortuous and I was getting the kms in just because they were on my training plan, but I also had a number of great runs where I felt amazing and only stopped because I found myself back outside my front door.
Due to a number of injuries this year (badly burnt soles, some BF blisters, Achilles tendinitis and several torn ligaments) I've not run anything beyond about 8km and it's always felt like a bit of a slog and I've always been terrified of feeling that first twinge of a returning injury.
So my question is; what can I do to make sure I enjoy each run and get back to running 20km+ without an issue?
