L Lower Leg, Achilles Tendonitis
2011-09-24 – 2011-11-15
Grade: 3
Not enough warming up my tight lower legs - and pulled/strained the left Achilles after 1 k of racing - couldn't stop as it was a relay and continued to the end. Quite a big dent on the back and inside of the Achilles. In the beginning pain all the time and very painful to walk.
Waited around for a while - but really little amounts of exercise is better as the achilles needs to be stretched a bit to get better - probably it would have been even better to do the excentric calf exercises. Anyway now it is good enough to train even through it is still sore. On the other hand one or the other achilles has always been sore in the mornings when I was training for real and not just for fitness as now
