I was aiming to do the time-trial on Saturday, but on Thursday while running I started feel dull stiffness above my right heel.. so I walked home.
I took four days off running.
First I thought my Achilles was inflamed, but there has been no swelling or pain in the Achilles. My both Solei were just super tight.
Things I've done since the soreness on my calves started (about 2 week ago):
- eccentric heel drops twice a day (3x15 both legs)
- foam rolling and massaging calves
- warm water to heat up the tendons before runs
- ice after runs
Today I went for a 40min easy run. Really fresh legs, no problems.
I planning on doing the 4k time-trial on tomorrow if there are no symptoms in the morning
