Icing my calf muscle, it pulled yesterday while I was teaching combat and I've had to teach again tonight. It doesn't feel as bad as yesterday though. Hoping it's nothing much 😬 got a busy week of teaching next week! #lesmillsbodycombat #calfstrain #iceicebaby
Initial reaction from pulling my calf on Saturday, at around the same time as I did last year:
Annoyed that I did it in my first speed session back.
Annoyed that I wasn't given a more gentle intro back into speed, like short hill strides 60 seconds or less.
Relieved that I was smart enough to stop. No long run for me tomorrow.
Relieved that calf raises don't hurt, I should be good to run easy again next week providing I take 1-2 days rest!
Irrational side is immediately thinking of all the weight I'm going to put on. Come on. Rational side is reaffirming that as long as I don't emotionally eat, weight will be fine.
Now that I’ve had a few days to let this sink in, my reaction hasn’t changed that much. But I managed to run again after 2 days of rest. Last year I did the opposite - ran for 2 days after pulling my calf, and had to take 2 weeks off.
You can’t avoid injuries, that’s not possible. But you can get really good at reducing the time that it takes to rebound from injuries. Speed work is out this month. I’ll need another 3-6 weeks off, but at least I can run and build miles.
A Calf strain is simply a tear of one of the muscles which make up the calf muscle group at the back of the lower leg.

Ok. This walk run method is working out great! Another 3 miles in the books without re-straining my calf. I might keep this up for another month and see what happens.

My first time running since Sunday. I felt stiff and sore. I was worried it would happen again but it didn’t! I’m using a walk run method and really listening to my body.

I felt great for 2.9 miles. Right before I got home my calf got a sharp pain. It’s not as bad as the original injury but it hurts and will probably keep me from running until later this week. So bummed out!!!
