R Lower Leg, Calf Strain

2010-09-18 – 2010-09-29

Grade: 3

Very sore calf after One Tough 10k.

Probably caused by hills and trying to run more on forefoot in a fast race environment. Iced all day and some the next day. Think this and compression socks really helped. Dialed back mileage. Took 3 full days off and lowered mileage 33% for the following week and no long run. Pretty much back to full strength 2 weeks later.
