Not quite just running but I see the first ever Down syndrome person completed an Ironman going. Some going.
Absolutely fantastic achievement by him, had a few tears in my eyes watching the video of him finishing.
Society puts limits on guys like him, its fantastic to see what he and others like him might be able to achieve when they are given the chance.

They are €64.90 on Adidas.ie but then I used the code EXTRA20 for another 20% off to bring them down to €52 or €51.92 to be exact!!

I've managed to get a few 5ks completed over the last couple of weeks without the calf going again (touch wood).  I was scrolling through facebook last night and noticed the virtual Belfast half marathon being advertised.  If I get a couple more injury free runs completed this month I definitely think I will take a stab at that. Something to motivate myself during these times.

I had to do a period of isolation there and the first run I went back to I pulled my calf. I actually have more or less this same issue and I think it boils down to glute "control" for me. I work in a very static job so if I don't keep at exercises mine just go dead and for whatever reason that has a knock on effect on the calf.

Recommended physio's in Belfast areas?
Physio specifically or sports massage?
Former Tyrone player (All Ireland winner) won  has started a sports massage business if you want to talk football at same time 😁
Whos that?

I ended up at the Physio group in Belfast Ormeau Avenue.

Was a very successful few sessions which cleared up things


None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Do you foam roll?
Glute activation - check banded exercises
Tight hamstrings also impact calves

imtommygunn

I foam roll non stop lol. I do banded exercises a lot but if I stop them then after about a week everything goes to shit again. Yeah hamstrings from too much sitting also not ideal. I try and stretch too but too easy to get out of the habit.

lurganblue

Yeah I think that is the same problem that I have.  Most of my working day is at a computer so I would say it all develops from my hips too.  I have worked quite a bit on strengthening my calf as best I could. Heel drops on the stairs, even 1 legged ones to add more weight to the calf. I tried the foam rolling but I have to say I don't think it's helping.

Fingers crossed it holds out.
