Getting good at getting over niggles

They come up, and I get over them in a few days with no fuss.

Last week, I got heel pain after a longer flat run in Z2. Probably from doing this workout too soon after a trail race.

How did I get over it?

  • reduced but did not stop running
  • did isometrics (ground squeezes with the feet and static calf raises)
  • kept doing strength work as usual (heavy leg work at the moment)
  • applied KT taping
  • massaged lower calf and anterior tibialis

Barely a bump in the road.

I think it’s not only the approach but the fact that I’m always doing strength training that helps me get over these things so quickly.
