Event: London Park Race #11: Bishops Park
 

Shame to miss the last in the series, but got a bit screwed over by work and achilles still not right. But it is improving, if only slowly.

For reference, things to do are:
- seated foot raises (often)
- single leg flat surface calf drops (3x 15 twice a day, straight and bent leg)
- no eccentric heel drops this time as it seems to be 'insertional' rather than the other kind
- light calf/achilles/hamstring stretching
- foam rolling and achilles massage
- light exercise is OK, but non-weight bearing if possible

And if it happens again... pay way more attention to any calf/achilles niggles/tightness, especially if new exercises/shoes are involved. Go all in on the rest and ice straight away.

quick ride up ashurst beacon and back down. no time for anything else.
what the hell has happened to garmin connect? can't see any details, bit annoying.

ITW
via Brixton where the roads are awful and a bit jarring for the achilles

pb, nice light traffic and put a bit of effort in but nothing crazy
