I have not had this before, it may be due to the big jump but I feel that I eased into it decently. It may be due to the shoes I have been wearing for training.
I’ve been going through a similar vein. I had never done more than 20-25 a week before this summer/season and we are pushing mid-high 50s now.
I’ve had some freak injuries though, 2 sprained ankles and a weird nerve issue with my knee.
Good luck with healing up. I’m very interested to see how you will perform this season.
