First to summit

Read part 1 (training from November-April) here . Adapting my training to the stress fracture When I got the news of the injury, I was obviously really bummed out. The most frustrating part was that it was very difficult to identify exactly what caused the injury in the first place, and thus figure out what I could do in the future to avoid something similar. I had a couple hypotheses, such as insufficient vitamin D (which helps to absorb calcium), too much running on pavement, too small racing shoes, etc. but I concluded that it wasn't due to a clear obvious problem with how I trained through the winter. Looking back on my training, the progression made sense and my body hadn't been showing any signs of overtraining, so apart from making minor adjustments in the future (supplement with vitamin D, vary run surfaces...), I decided to not perceive the injury as a sign that I had been training wrong.
