Andy's Calf

[parky]

Hmmm

on the running spectrum .... er not the really really quick but okayish club runner side of the scale, I think. I've only been running properly for about 3 and a half years but with a bit of luck I'll be doing my fifth marathon in Sept.

Shoes may be the cause, but I was wondering in my own case if my normal work shoes being quite worn may have also contributed to the achilles problem. As you've started commuting to London recently is this an issue, (not sure if its an issue at all), or have you been standing on trains, or the cattle trucks that rattle around underground alot?

Don't know if this would have any bearing on your calf problems just a thought.

BTW Beer (well real ale I suppos) is good for muscle healing as it contains Zinc. So your beer therapy has its value!!!
