L Lower Leg, Calf Strain
2014-10-19 – 2014-10-26
Grade: 1
pulled the left calf at about the 500m mark at the oktoberfest 5km and still managed to pb by 2:12. I'm hoping the strain goes away in a few days of rest.
(I'm liking the 100 ups, MovNat and Barefoot running.)
Lowered the workouts this past week. Focused on running relaxed a having the hip a bit lower to the ground.
I think the main cause was running a bit to high - more of a straight leg, on the toes and using the muscle too much, where as I should have been loading the tendons more.
Remember to relax at the start of a race!
