 any injury I get running minus shin splints goes away with a week of inactivityReply • Back to Top |
| Ice? Heat? Both? Reply • Back to Top |
| Probably icing and taking a few days off. Could also be your shoes so maybe time for a new pair? Reply • Back to Top |

| You also need to be stretching it. That probably was the root of the problem to begin with. Reply • Back to Top |
| A day or two off and then ease back into things, stay away from hills until it is about 80% Reply • Back to Top |
RICE. For pretty much any injury  Reply • Back to Top |

| Before and after. Not now, though. Reply • Back to Top |
| I recently went to see a Physical Therapist for a calf strain. He suggested running with a very short stride for a period of time to reduce strain on my calf. Helped me get back to running sooner. Good luck Reply • Back to Top • Refresh |
