I took Tuesday off because of my calf pain.. I massaged, iced and stretched my every opportunity I had from mon thru today.. My calf is definiently feeling a lot better..
Yesterday i swam and biked..
The swim was tough.. but i was determined to do a 1000m.. so with resting it took about 35 mins.. i did 3 x 200s.. the last one was really tough.. 4 x 50s.. shoulders were smoked at this point.. 8 x 25.. with 10 sec breaks inbetween.. the 25s weren't that bad.
So after the pool i decided to get on a spin bike for a half hour. I wanted to test my calf out to see what kinda load i could put on it.. Actual pedaling didnt cause any pain, i added tension after i felt legs were loose enough.. had enough tension to stand.. I felt pain about the 4 'o clock position on the pedal stroke, and it went away after that point... So, it only hurt at that position.. which makes since.. i only felt running when my foot engaged my calf at the same point.. hhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Im gonna try a short run today, maybe a 2 miler or so. try to test things out. if it feels ok, Ill run again on fri. maybe add some distance. hopefully by sun i can get back on course with training..
