Hey there,
Great XC race on Saturday (ankle deep mud, knee high rivers
). And finished with lots of fast guys around me so happy with the result.
Unfortunately my lower soleus has flared up again, though. This time on the left side!! I took Sun/Mon completely off running. Just swam/biked. Was hoping I'd be ok for 1k's today but it's still a tiny bit sore. Having a massage at lunch.
Hopefully it'll feel ok tomorrow and can go ahead with track then.
Clearly something biomechanical I need to think about as its happened after the last 2 races (though on different sides). The right lower soleus now seems a LOT thicker and stronger since it was injured last time... so maybe the same will now happen with the left.
Fingers crossed.
