So I have managed to stay of the IC so far... a couple of colds and holidays but no injuries.
I had gait analysis and a shiney new pair of shoes last August (as I have completely flat feet - no arch at all - full footprints in the sand!!!) I do feel that they have lost their springy ness! But full time work, 9 grandchildren and a husband with a broken femur and I just can't find the time to go back and speak to the lovely people at Advance Performance again. I have promised myself i will go this weekend as I am worried about doing some damage...
my right calf is very very tight. I feel it walking running and i can even feel it now sat here tapping away. I am stretching and have invested in a foam roller.
I am pinning my hopes on new shoes!!! Any other advice gratefully received you lovely peeps!
Thank you in advance

had thought about it but wondered if my gait had changed as i'd run more so thought i'd get it checked again. if i don't get there this weekend then yep I think and on line order will be the way forward
Hi... have no idea if this will help but I had the same thing recently... one really tight calf... especially after my run and the next day and then I couldn't completely get rid of it in between runs. I tried stretching it out when it was warm but it didn't make any difference. I found some self massage on you tube and repeating that daily for a week (with lots of oil) has really helped sort it out.... my run on Friday left me with no tightness. I still do the post run stretches but the extra pampering seems to have done the trick!! 😊
