Wouldn't you just know it. Having gone through 16 weeks of training with no injury worries - with two weeks to go before the big race I start to get a real niggle in my left calf.
I can run on it - and it subsides after 10-15 minutes, but afterwards it stiffens badly. Any advice? I've never really had muscular problems before. I don't remember straining it at all - I think when I pushed hard (for me) at the 1/2 mara last week I must have tweaked it a little
I'm banking on it clearing up in the last week of taper before the race on 13th...
run was 6 miles around Hampton Court Palace in the snow and hail. erm...lovely.
last year this time I had a glorious tan from the warmest spring on record - this year I feel like Scott of the Antarctic some days... |
