You know, I might actually incorporate that into my routine, throw out one gym day. I've been thinking about it for some time now, makes a lot of sense.

Finally managed to recover, went on two runs since...and this evening, I rolled it again. Stupid construction site blocked the pavement so I had to go on uneven ground, I was in a hurry and that same foot just slid in the hole and rolled the ankle.
Why can't life be easy??

Another weird one. Was just moving the (relatively easy) table laterally, and felt a tweak in my lower back, accompanied with pain.
I rest for two days, then went back to the gym, felt the pain worsen and finished the session earlier.
I had these issues on and off for a while. Must be the heavy squats that are the primary cause. I noticed I can sometimes lean too much forward (due to the weight), which can certainly put pressure on the disks, which then put pressure on the nerves.
This all means I might either have to reduce the weight on the bar (by 10-20 percent) to fix the form issues, or change the training program altogether. The former would mean I would not be improving for a while, and the latter would make me lose strength - none of which are optimal. In the end, I might resort to both solutions.
But first - a bit of rest.
