    Achilles tendon or calf sprain?

    Just an update: I am back up Just an update: I am back up to 1 mile BF. The strain/sprain is healed. I'm back in the saddle again; feels great... How did I fix the strain/sprain? I let it heal for about 10 days before I ran on it again. Not easy to be patient... Just didn't want anyone to...

    Achilles tendon or calf sprain?

    Good one TJ ! Nick, I Good one TJ :) ! Nick, I don't think there is a "one size fits all" answer to this for me. I try to listen to my body first and foremost. When I don't, my body has no problem reminding me who is in the driver's seat :) . But I'll let you know if I learn anything...

    Achilles tendon or calf sprain?

    Interesting view. I Interesting view. I don’t know what to think. I think the average sedentary, lethargic, malnourished (as in over-fed but nutrient-deficient) American might need to stretch (I don’t mean this in a derogatory sense; two-thirds of Americans are overweight and one...

    Achilles tendon or calf sprain?

    Wow Madhu, what a sad story! Wow Madhu, what a sad story! I can't imagine your pain (emotional and physical). You ask legitimate questions. Some say stretch before running, others say never stretch before running. Very frustrating. I tend to think that the forces used when stopping, changing...

    100-Up? How about 100 squats?

    Nice article/commentary on Nice article/commentary on squats. I always loved squats. There is something primordial about them (for me). They give me a sense of great power, confidence and stability when done correctly. I might throw some in with my cross training. Thanks for reminding me about...

    Achilles tendon or calf sprain?

    Thanks Nick, it's difficult Thanks Nick, it's difficult to be patient, but I'll try to work around it for a while until it feels normal. There are other things I could do like McDougalls 100-ups which don't affect the area in question. I could also do sit-ups (core) and some other things...

    Achilles tendon strain or calf strain?

    Hey Neil, Thanks for youur Hey Neil, Thanks for youur input. As I have been lamenting lately, I don't know which is harder in the beginning; running BF or having patience... BFR is proving to be a workout in "patience" - for me, anyway. I believe I am doing everything correctly; I have a...

    Achilles tendon or calf sprain?

    Thanks for the reply jschwab. Thanks for the reply jschwab. I'm having a lot of physical problems right now. The transition to barefoot (running in general, since i'm not a runner) is proving to be challenging. In some ways it is like going on a plant-based diet; there is a period where things...

    Achilles tendon strain or calf strain?

    Update on me… I have been running barefoot (unshod) for about 6 weeks. I am up to 1 mile now. I started slow (I have a BF friend who is guiding me through this. He has recently run a marathon barefoot), but I am still having some set-backs. I am not blaming my injuries on BFR...
