Things don’t always go to plan. 9 weeks before my marathon
training starts, I was running the runs of my life. Everything was perfect. I
was enjoying time on my feet and was progressing so well. My running felt so
natural and my fitness base was spot on.
And then – disaster.
It all started with a slip at the basketball court, during a
friendly game of Dodgeball. After the slip I thought – oh I better go for a
run, since I was all dressed for it and – the pain wasn't so bad! That was the
end of my merry run.
Two months on and I am still managing this injury. My dear
chiro said that it is a result of overuse, not enough rest, and zero
stretching. Now to manage this problem I do everything opposite – underuse, too
much rest, and OCD in calf stretching. It is slowly getting better, but, have
to say it is a less than stellar start to my training. The worst part is, that
PAIN that comes with every stride! I feel like I have no control over my body
any more...
