Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I had a calf injury earlier this year that showed itself as a foot injury.

My physio had me doing lots (LOTS) of foam rolling and single leg work - single leg squats, hopping, heel raises all to fatigue I had to also ice the foot but could have been due to the trigger coming from the foot.

I’ll see if he has any relevant videos. Two ticks

Thanks GG. I’m going to try and book a physio session to get some ideas too.

At the moment I’m getting away with it, but too many examples here have got me paying attention

Scribbler, I hope that it’s nothing serious. Being a serial collector of calf strains, I can echo what GG has suggested (but no experience on icing the foot). It’s important to have strong calf muscles and those exercises will help that. Roller I got is good practice anyway, but will help free up any niggles.
It’s also important to make it a regular part of your routine (says he who doesn’t always practice what he preaches and ends up on the bench again!)

Thanks for asking about name knee GG. I had the scan three weeks ago and have a phone appointment with my GP tomorrow to see what is proposed. More recently it’s not been too much of a problem, but I’ve not had much of an opportunity to do a great deal of running or walking.

Osteoarthritis apparently, or basically getting old! There’s nothing that needs treatment at this stage (eg no meniscus tears, which are often left untreated these days anyway).
So it’s a case of keep on keeping on for the time being.

Bad news about your Achilles Taz. Are you doing anything for it?

Rest at the moment, not really sure what else!

About This Thread

Maintained by geordiegirl
*EDIT* in the current situation we are not entering races but I think we can still log any plans we may have over the coming months, whether it is learning a new skill, ticking jobs off a list, moving house(!), doing alternative exercise, aiming for training hours instead of miles, writing to family & friends, finding inventive ways to be together virtually or even entering virus races please fill in the planner and I’ll update this thread and keep our little social group going to share our goals.

Everyone is welcome, whether you don't want to set an official target or you may be aiming further but still want to pop by for a chat/offer some words of wisdom or just because the door is always open and kettle is on.

(When you go in give yourself a colour so I know you're wanting to be on the sheet so I can keep it tidy)

If you update the race planner after I've updated the header drop me an fmail or a reminder (or 2) on the thread so I know to update. Thanks
