Steve, so far, at 58, I guess I am lucky. Have never, yet, had this issue. Any thoughts on why some do, and some might not?
Dave,
How many years have you been running consistently? I thought I've read that you're a late bloomer re: endurance sports. If that's the case, I think you just have less miles on your legs than those of us 55+ who have been running consistently for 40+ years.
Thankfully, the calf cramping/Achilles issues haven't hit me yet, although my running pace has definitely slowed in the past decade. All my running except for races is at a comfortable pace and off pavement. I wonder whether running offroad helps maintain the neuromuscular function in the ankles and calves.
