To Hampton Court bridge and back

Last week I had a slight discomfort in my left leg. That week Saturday’s run (https://www.strava.com/activities/16532167404) exacerbated it a little so I decided to take this week off running. It helped that it was a busy week at work. 


My cyclists friends decided today’s weather was not suitable for riding bicycles so I decided to go for an easy run to test my leg.


Run slowly to Kingston bridge (5km) and I felt fine so I decided to keep running towards Hampton Court. 


Got to Hampton Court (10km), I crossed the bridge heading home and I was feeling fine so I decided to turn around and head back to Kingston.


That is a much nicer way of going back home but it adds 5 more kilometres to the route.


Back again to Kingston bridge (15km) and I started to think that, maybe, I was a bit too optimistic. I was still running slow but my legs, especially the left one, were feeling the effort.


Finally got home (20km) and I now have the slight discomfort back in my left leg.


Follow me if you want great advice on how to deal with running niggles. I know what not to do.
