    I'm loving the fact my legs are fucked today, never thought I'd miss the whole day after leg day buzz!

    The thought of performing any sort of athletic activity, ie standing up and then walking, after a decent leg day fills me with all sorts of dread

    Hammy gave out about halfway through training again, bastard. Tips and tricks other than rest, ice, ibuprofen, deep heat? It's a funny one as it seems to start to tighten and then a few minutes later goes as I step off my left on the move.

    Will start off with some decent walking and look to start to build up to sprinting then changing direction at pace...

    @Bones touch wood I've never had issues with my hammies, and TBH, prior to 2018, in regard to muscle injuries, I had never done more than mildly strain a muscle.

    But I strained (turned out a bad strain I think) my calf playing golden oldies, it felt like someone had punched me in the calf, I turn and there is no one there...

    Anyway, it felt ok a fortnight later, light running, then playing touch the following week, and damned if the other calf had a mild strain too (my guess is I spent 3 weeks over compensating)

    Was 2nd to last game anyway, so plenty of time to recover after that, but my right calf (first one I injured)

    Anywho, long story short, dont rush it!

    You being 41, you are nearing the top of the hill, stuff takes longer to heal, and quicker to hurt again.

    Although my calf injury was less to do with age, and more to do with the 3 or 4 handles in between games (thats my story and I am sticking with it)

    Hah that's exactly what I did when the achilles went. Loud "bang!" Followed by "are you fucken kidding m..." As I spun while falling and saw no-one there...

    @Bones the achilles in that leg is much thicker than the other (scar tissue) which I guess means mine musta been close to going too...well thats my bush Dr diagnosis anyway, I didnt need to go to a physio, I just walked it off 🍻

    @taniwharugby yeah I figured out I walked over a mile on the busted achilles. Sports centre to canary wharf tube, change at LB, up and down stairs etc. Almost didn't go to hospital!

    Sure it's your achilles? I did one of my small calf muscles about 6 weeks ago. REstd / Ice Physio exercises then as it improved I started small runs - 50m x 20 sort of thing. Then built up slowly to run 5k. All going well, so decided to do a 10k. Boom. Strained it again.

    Oh yeah I was talking about injury from 8 or so years ago - definitely achilles and (possibly like TR) have the scar to prove it 🙂 Full rupture.

    My hamstring is also not 100%-I was able to run 15mins at 12km today but it was nagging, and when I put up the speed to 18k for intervals it gave out on the first one. Both calves are also slow to recover too-these 3 are directly because I am changing my running style-and eventually, it's going to pay off, feel much faster.
    I guess I should rest a bit more, like a week or two, and stretch more. Any other ideas?

    @Bones yeah nah, I already run straight, thanks anyway.
    Will just have to wait for it to recover and cut the speed a little

    Assume you've tried physio?

    @pakman no, it's difficult to find here. I'll google. Probably stretching and cut the speedwork for a while.
