Training Run Times

Sorry to hear that BT, No doubt you will bounce back as strong as ever,

BT..something else to consider is to try a runner with a ‘big/stacked heel’ to take the pressure off the Achilles. Though they cost a bomb, I’ve run a pair of alphafly into the ground for any of the tougher sessions and I’ve found my calves are much less achy than they would be otherwise the following day

Yep - I've ordered heel cups for now but the stacked Nikes are probably the answer longer term. Feck it, I've two pairs of ASICS Gel Trainers in the cupboard at home

Great stuff smurf - I see what you mean about the small bit of slow running. Will tap you up for the shockwave link if things are movnig too slowly

Sorry to hear that BPT.

Guy in work with me went to these guys. There are few if any others in Cork that do the shockwave stuff but I’m open to correction.

Yep...I got one as a present last year and make good use of it. I find it good for working on an area I've strained but only after a day or two (after I've iced it etc) and starting off quite gently (as you can do more harm than good). Also good for before a run in order to loosen up a tight spot or an area where there may be scar tissue from an old injury.

Lads for any of you with those injuries that are persistent or “niggly” I’d definitely recommend checking out two accounts on Instagram, kneepainaid (ignore the name) and ptvitals. On top of physio obviously but they run through some great excercises and mobility type stuff.
