I've been running BF (now sometimes minimalist too) for 2 1/2 months, and my calves and Achilles tendons are STILL sore!! Am I doing something wrong? I'm up to 11.75 miles a week (last week). Keeping my mileage increases reasonable (generally well under 10% a week.) Running 4 days a week. Very hesitant to decrease mileage, since I'm trying to work up to my first half marathon at the beginning of December.
Sometimes I'm achy during a run, but not usually bad, and it USUALLY gets better as I run. Lately it seems like I'm almost always at least a little sore during everyday activities. Everything is pretty mild at this point, just annoying.
Any thoughts? Will this eventually work itself out? I do use my foam roller regularly and for my Achilles sometimes I use a golf ball to massage it.
