Cycling 45:00 [2]

Easy with Kirstin in My Gym. Usually hate those bikes but didn't notice with company :)

Note

Achilles has been sore just walking around. Seems to come on a few mins after starting walking but then will die down again. Was getting set off by cycling earlier this week which was :( Feeling a bit better today and think the calves are finally not so sore from the massage! Just got to continue being sensible. Might try a wee run tomorrow and then see what I'm going to do about OO-Cup.

Running 10:00 [1]

Attempted a run, it was a nope. Calves felt terrible and achilles started hurting 2.5mins in. Stopped for a bit then ran a bit more. Not feeling it. Clearly needs more rest.

Stretching/Physio 30:00 [0]

Note

Need to update with stuff from ScotJOS tour but also need to write down what the physio said this morning!

So Achilles has been getting worse over the last few weeks and I booked an appointment as soon as I was back to see what I can do to help it improve.
Between us we couldn't really figure out an exact cause and it just seems to be the classic - overuse combined with not enough stretching/s&c and then super tight calves, especially soleus...
Anyway it's not yet at the point of no return and I just need to be careful over the next 6-8 weeks not to do too much. I can cross train and he said I could run. Probably every other day but it depends on pain. I need to figure out the limit (where pain starts, I think currently ~20mins) and then run less than that, see how it goes and increase slowly while doing more stretching, rolling and the various exercises (especially heel lower 3x20 soft knee) he gave me. Anytime I do run I need to make sure I warm up properly and include some things like lunge, toe walks and the knee->wall stretch.
Looks like I'll be walking the OO-Cup! Can't even pick the path routes and run them because I am doing the ultimate hahaha
