I am a new member of this group and I was interested in how you trained through
your calf injury? I am a 56 year-old runner shooting for a BQ at Vegas in about
three weeks. I tweaked my left inside calf muscle a week ago and have been
hobbling around ever since. I have taken a couple of days off here and there to
try and give it time to heal, but I am at a point in training where I can't
afford to just stop for an extended period. I have been getting Graston
technique and Kinesio taping twice a week since the injury. It seems to be
improving, but is still sore after a run. Any advise would be greatly
appreciated.
