I was getting set to enter the Great East Anglia Run in Kings Lynn. In the final phase of training, on a treadmill, I had a twinge. I went out for a road run (5.7miles) two days later and suffered the same twinge that continued after, particularily on the heel strike. I tried a 10 minute treadmill run two days later, and although the pain appeared to go whilst running it continue after and most noticeable when using my feet to stabilise me during a decline dumbell press, i.e. the toes pulling upwards.
I have not run (trained) for a week and confined my aerobic workout to cycling and rowing. However, will I had to run a short distance at the weekend the pain was intense on the hell strike phase again.
I have been advised to do some calf stretch variations to stretch the shin area and hold them for 30 seconds rather than 10-15 as I was before. Unfortunately, my stretching programme only consisted of IT Band, Hamstring, Calf and Quad stretch prior to this after a run.
The trainers I use are Asics Landreth II from a running shop in Norwich but they don't have gait analysis but they are very experienced and had my old trainners to see the wear patterns. I have been using these trainers between two and four times a week since January.
What action is best advised for resolving the cause, stretching programmes and how long before starting up again?
Cheers,
Dave
PS. I've researched other threads but injuries seem to be quite personal with the symptons they display - hence the post.
