Couldn’t do parkrun ☹️ got half way around 1st lap and could feel calf muscle starting to hurt. It’s the OTHER leg to the one that’s kept me away for a month. So fed up. How do I find out what’s causing these injuries? Sports physio? I’m already seeing a chiropractor
NOT FAIR .... STAMPS FEET 🤬
Not an expert, but have you try to increase the water/salt/ potasium/ to keep the balance with your sweat?
Try not to be too upset... There Will be plenty if runs
😫 so frustrating I am sure. Often when we are nursing an injury on one side of the body we overcompensate on the other side. Are you doing dynamic warm ups before & stretches afterwards? A roller helped my calf pain, plus soaks in magnesium (Epsom salts in the bath). Gentle massage with Paingone & rest! If you have tried all this then time to see a physio!
Doing 5 minute walk to warm up and stretches before and after. Thanks for advice. X
Annie asked are you doing dynamic stretches pre run. It is not recommended to do static stretching pre run.
Oh ok. I’ll research dynamic stretches Thanks
It is all in the guide to the plan healthunlocked.com/couchto5...
Try not to be too mad , you didn't just stop something caused you to. Have you thought about trying compression calves sleeves or whatever they're called. Good luck 😊
In a reply to someone else, I recently mentioned a lifelong runner I know who had to stop running for nearly a year because of severe calf pain. Physios could not cure it, but compression socks did the trick. He wears them whenever exercising and for 24 hours afterwards.
Might be with a try. Let us know if it works.
Encouraging to know about
That’s so annoying. Off to the physio I think!
I’m finding the Yoga with Adrienne pre and post run videos on You tube really helpful. They are short and simple.
Thanks
