It's just part of what you have to do. If you get hurt after a race you've been targeting for months, big deal. You train to race, not to train. If you get hurt while training for a race you're targeting, then it's a bigger problem and a different approach is needed.

After all, if you are aiming at one specific race that is months down the line (or you have been working months towards) then you do not want to lose the level of fitness you currently enjoy and then not be prepared for that race.
