Which is why I wrote this running injury protocol post.
What injury?
Left Achilles, but fairly high up, so it might be a muscle.
There is a painful-to-touch lump on the side of my Achilles, though. Not sure if it has been there since I did the injury on Thursday or if it’s from today’s hike.
What now? Throw the kitchen sink at it:
- See if I can run on the flat (tomorrow or Tuesday)
- Rehab exercises from today (calf raise holds to start with)
- Lots of leg and other strength training now that I’ll be running less if it all
- Cross-training (swim, hike, bike and kettlebells)
- Physio if I can get an appointment soon
- Patience. At least I get to start again!
