Running injury

another factor could be i jog with my 4yr old running shoes, Reebok classics

I only feel this pain in the middle of my run and it gets a lil worse 15 min
after my run , i noticed when im reaching the end of my run the pain goes
away, while im walking regular i dont feel no pain at all, just when i run
and after, do you recomend still take a day or two off, thanks for the

Hi everyone, for the last 2 days when i go on my usual jog i experience
pains in my left leg , specifically i feel pain on my "calcaneal tendon"
(the tendon that connects the calf muscle to the heel bone), I did some
research on the Internet and it says the best way to recuperate from

this is

rest , I guess i should do that at least for a week , what do you all
suggest, (im going to miss jogging lol)

It went away for me after I rested for one day. So, rest seems like a
good idea.

I would rest until you do not have this condition, and then resume
running carefully and build up to your regular volume over several days.

If you don't find the cause, rest may only be a brief solution. If for
instance the pull is caused by knots in your calf which cause more pull
in the Achilles area, rest alone will not be the only help. You may need
to perform some massage and/or stretching to release the knot(s). Then
you should try to understand what caused the muscle problem - too much
run running, too many hills, poor shoes, etc.

Doug, now that you mention it , i think its a knott like you said, because
theres a small bump on the right side of my calcaneal tendon, this is the
1st time i ever felt this pain, what streches do you recomend.

Try self massage, i.e., a Stick (www.thestick.com/). Good for
calves, quads, hams, butt, even shins. Since using one (as
opposed to expensive weekly massage therapists) I've had no
running related injuries or problems. It works.

I buy it from
http://www.stretching.com/products/bodytools.asp

The Stick is made by Intracell (www.intracell.net/), but
Bob Anderson/Stretching also sells a number of useful body
tools and is _the_ stretching guru. Try his classic book.

Try self massage in your anal cavity, i.e., a Stick (www.thestick.com/). Good for
calves, quads, hams, in butt, even shins. Since using one (as
opposed to expensive weekly massage therapists) I've had no
running related injuries or problems, except for KY burn on my right cheek. It works.

I butt it from

You need a gait assessment before you buy new shoes.

Jim and Doug:
An inexpensive alternative to the stick is a kitchen rolling pin. It
is just as effective as a stick, but you can buy a used one for $5.
Also, rest is not always the best solution. According to
www.AchillesTendon.com both strengthening and stretching are
important. Their advice worked for me, you might want to check it
out.
Good luck,
