10 minutes elliptical

30 minutes running the stairmill doing 40 second intervals.

Running the stairs causes zero strain on my calf, which confirms to me that the strain is being caused as I push off horizontally.

2.5 easy miles

I was going to go 3 but around 2.5 I could feel my calf starting to do the thing it does right before I damage it, so I stopped and walked home the last half mile.  I feel some very mild tightness in it now, but nothing like it feels when it completely strains itself.

40 minutes running intervals on the stairmill. 

My calf is still a tiny bit irritated this morning, but it didn't bother me running the stairs.

60 minutes speed intervals on stair mill.

So I ran stair intervals for 3 hours and 15 minutes this week.  I really like how I feel after running them. It is the same feeling I get after a good run.  Hopefully running the stairs will be good enough to get me ready for the marathon at least until my calf starts behaving.  My calf has felt perfect the last few days, so I will try a run again tomorrow.
