I get this a lot with my running.

My tips would be, make sure you’ve had enough fluids, magnesium spray, raise legs if possible? And my sure fire winner, rolling your calves. A foam roller if you have one or in an emergency a tin of bins or similar, wine bottle, or tennis ball which is far more portable.

I’ve also found icing my calves help too…[Read more]

Thanks for the suggestions, I see my sports therapist weekly – I’d be lost without him! I’ve heard Plantar Fasciitis is a nightmare but fingers crossed I have no experience of that one!

I have had gait analysis previously and also bio mechanical assessment, I over pronate on the left but have neutral movement on the right and run in custom made orthotics. I think I’ve just pushed it when I should really have rested it. It’s tough decision to rest a few weeks before a half M though!

I have already had gait analysis too and run in orthotics through the right one is neutral. It’s kind of my own fault as it’s been niggling for a while but the pressure of having a half marathon looming kept me training.

I’ve done my left one before but this is the right, it’s not snapped but my entire Achilles/ankle area is pretty enormous, it’s such a crap area for healing and I know there will be no miracle cure but just looking any secret remedies people may have.
