Another attempt to return to running and triathlon is hanging by a thread as I have just yet again come back with that old familiar pain in the left calf half way down the leg, quite deep, around the soleus musculo-tendinous junction. Not a muscle tear a calf, a "heart attack" some call it.
I just want to know I still have no idea how to fix this as nothing I have tried changes anything, I just seem to end up with the same old.
This thing happens like clock work and countless times over the last decade. I virtually gave up running, doing nothing for 2 years, then last year I had a crack at a comeback, same result. no running for a year and then this summer, have another go, things were going well until yesterday. I haven't even jogged over 22 minutes! All on grass and mostly pretty flat. Don't go near hills these days. Can anybody who has had a similar problem help? Does anyone know what I should try? I am now 49 yrs old and would like one last go at running before I am dead!
