L Lower Leg, Calf Strain
2009-04-24 – 2009-05-25
Grade: 2
Left gastroc or soleus strain, first painful after long run while scouting the U-District Street Scramble course in late April. It then seemed to get better, but came back the week before the Team Trials, then a couple of days after the trials.
Recovery was gradual, so the end date is approximate. I didn't have to do much to help the recovery, just avoiding running and cross-training more for a bit, then stretching and being careful not to overdo high-intensity training.
