Yesterday was the "top race" of the year ... HM championship<BR/><BR/>about your question on marathon training, it will take me a little to prepare an articulate answer and I will make it as a post on the blog, so I can be used also for others.<BR/><BR/>About calves soreness, I also suffer a lot of it.<BR/>In 2006, I had to stop almost a month.<BR/>You must check if the soreness is at the level of the gastrocnemius/soleus muscles or closer to the achille's tendom.<BR/>In my case, the pain was at level of the muscles and it was related to excessive pronation of the feet, that was badly matching for my passion for light and neutral shoes.<BR/>I had to use only Kayano and also for flats, I select those with pronation control systems (eg: New Balance RC600).<BR/>I found a lot of relief using also othotics that control the motion of the feet.<BR/>For pain relief, I use those "heel lifter" and it really helps a lot.<BR/><BR/>Now I am suffering from calves pain closer to the Achille's tendon, and it comes out every time I use flats/lightweight trainers.<BR/>I will try to make much more stretching of the calves because I guess it is really related to the tight mobility of the muscle.<BR/>I also hate wearing "heavy" shoes: the feeling is like moving a "dead" feet and the gait is not really natural.by7https://www.blogger.com/profile/02575145053431055482noreply@blogger.com
