Dealing with injury and setbacks

Hi All,I have completed the Cool Impossible plan!! Fantastic!! My 5km went from 26:31 min to 22:28 min and I got a substantial increase in strength for the hills. Will share more of my experience or a blog if people are interested. Unfortunately before finishing the plan I stepped on a dog bone and got a stone bruise on my foot. This has been causing discomfit for 5 weeks and stopping me getting started with round 2 of the Cool Impossible Plan to be sub 20min 5k.How do you deal with set backs?…See More
