Won't solve the issue though. I'd recommend focusing more on strengthening the calf muscles or getting a good warm-up drill in for the achilles tendon/calves instead.


Of course.

But he should do both. Might want to look at your running shows and posture too.

Have actually been doing that as a stretch before and after my last few runs, without the kettle bells

Injured my calf while on a run about 4 weeks ago, so have had to scale back the running a bit. In the last week it isn't as sore but i'm just taking it slower now. Was averaging about 7 and a half minute miles before the injury but somewhere between 8.5 and 9 now. Would rather get out and get something done even if its at a slow pace than become an even fatter bastard and do nothing, but at the same time feel if I run any faster it'll go again

I could easily drink 4/5 pints in an hour. Completely unsustainable.

Find it hard to pace myself drinking stout as it's just so tasty.

Myabe you're starting off too hard then it's taking a bit of time to recover and get back to a steady pace after that?
 
That might be it. I might try take it a little bit easier when I start off. Thanks
