| Thanks guys, will just have to cut the mileage back for a bit, not run on consecutive days and add in some strengthening exercises to bring the leg back into line.... Feels fine now, so will see how it is tomorrow night and try another short one.... |

Hmmm, well the run last night was fine for the first 22 mins, then the achilles/calf area started to ache so I stopped and stretched out for a few mins, then headed back for home at a gentle pace, but a few minutes later had to walk as the ache was getting progressively worse...
All in all did just over 4 miles running in 37mins, with a couple of walking pauses and went straight into RICE when I got home.
Bit of a sore spot this morning on the left handside of the lower leg so not so sure it's achilles at all now... Obviously an overuse thing that I need to rest and then build up slowly again... shame as everything else is fine.... | |

My mum used to live in Bexhill, right by the seafront... brother still lives in Hastings...
Going to go for a nice easy run tonight once kids are in bed, achilles feels fine but just a bit wary of pushing too hard too soon so going to take my nice flat short loop rather than the longer hilly one..... Oh, will also be doing lots of calf stretches too!!!
Best of luck for next time Andy - how does your leg feel now? | |

Best of luck this weekend to all racing!
Brilliant story re the cows Em... v funny.....
Twinge has escalated a bit in last 24 hrs... resting and icing as much as poss and it is improving, but I think it was a bit if a warning shot from my legs to say ease up a little.... had covered 25 miles by Thursday and 30 the previous week so hopefully just a sign of overuse.
Still not sure if it's achilles or soleus, doesn't really matter I guess, just need to take it a bit easier.....
Going to sack the weekend as I have an art exhibition in Bath tonight which I'm exhibiting at, and my birthday Sunday then I'll see how I am on Monday..... that'll be 4 days off by the time I would run Mon night.

Hmmmm, 4 mile recovery pace at lunch... Avg 10:24/mile, felt achilles most of way round, nothing to make me stop but enough not to press on faster if I would have wanted. Will push tomorrows session to Saturday night and rest it up from now till then and see how it goes.....
