I think Periodization is key here; when it comes to how much activity you should do and how much rest you can should have.

Its also going to be trial and error on your part as you will know when your overdoing it. Try 2 days on 1 day off at first and see how you get on, decrease your overall mileage and slowly build up whilst getting the corrective therapy for the issues mentioned above by Physiobob. I would also recommend using the RICE protocol after training and during pain:


  • Rest
  • Ice
  • Compression - Not necessary in this case
  • Elevation


Most importantly, don't forget to stretch.
