Does anyone have any experience with this??
I am in the process of training for Boston. I had been successfully running 50 miles per week for the last 3 months without any issues and also throwing in mountain biking 1-2 per week. About a month ago I started experiencing calf tightness. I did my normal massage, stretching and foam roller. Since then, it seems like my calves have gotten even tighter and my legs more fatigued. I reduced my weekly running mileage to about 9 miles. During my runs, each mile seemed to get slower with my legs feeling more fatigued. I went to see a chiropractor and physical therapist. The only thing the PT could come up with was potential chronic compartment syndrome. Has anyone experienced anything like this and what helped??
Thanks in advance.
