Hi all
I've recently become hooked on triathlon, completed my first one at the north west tri - what a buzz[:D]
Unfortunately i'm in need of some advice regarding my calf injury.
Around a month ago i got a bad strain in my left gastrocnimeus(not sure of the spelling[:D]) After it had healed i went for some gait analysis,i knew i over pronated anyway,so was advised on a pair of new balance to counter this. All was fine till saturday and almost at the exact same spot(approx 3 miles) i get the same injury but in my right calf!
I would appreciate any advice from anyone on the subject.
Many thanks
Rick

Thanks for the advice,and knowing i'm not alone[:D]
I dont stretch as much as i should either.
I've not long been back into the running,as ive been a serious "gym head" for quite a while.
I think it must be age related (im 41) because i was in the Royal Marines in my early 20's and never suffered from injury despite running twice a day at times.
I've just been recommended a physio who has a running/cycling background, so i'll give him a try.
At least i can devote time to improving my swimming, managed to knock 12mins off my mile time in 4 weeks.
Best of luck with your training

I'm a big fan of rowing myself, usually before or after, never during[:D]
