So I began my pre warm up to my 3rd marathon treadmill challenge on Monday with an easy 6 mile off temp run and low and behold the calf injury reared it's ugly head again....
So lucky for me I have been off work this week have carried out the R.I.C.E principal.
Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation
To say my missus is already fed up with me is an understatement! " Are you icing that leg again"? "No we haven't got any bandages" " That much Ibuprofen can't be good for you"! "What are you doing with my rolling pin"?
To answer the rolling pin question: Apparently using a rolling pin up and down your calf is good for the strain? You can buy a professional massage device called "The Stick" but it's £40. A rolling pin will suffice! http://www.the-stick.co.uk/
So fingers crossed I'll be able to carry out the challenge even if it's a slow pace. It's the fundraising that counts and not a PB.
Radio Cornwall are coming to interview me too....
