I'd almost rather break bone!<br /><br />I run a high percentage of hills, AND I have a midfoot landing, both of which stress the calves. I've managed to avoid PF, AT and other tendon issues just by stretching and leg massage with a foam roller. I'm guessing it would help with recovery also. Anything that keeps the muscles soft will reduce tension on the AT and probably help.mtnrunner2https://www.blogger.com/profile/10974435572236740294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998541749391503771.post-17311906416140043332010-10-26T19:02:29.152-06:002010-10-26T19:02:29.152-06:00Thanks for the advice.

And it's easy for me to avoid long hills these days, since I moved to South Carolina. Lots of small rollers, nothing big here.Jon Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10550264057212165804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998541749391503771.post-31629353147239508262010-10-21T13:06:01.356-06:002010-10-21T13:06:01.356-06:00mtnrunner2- signal is hands down the best daily ru...mtnrunner2- signal is hands down the best daily run one can run in gunnison-from my doorstep its .5 mile to dirt. you can run beyond signal (east) pretty much as far as you want to go.<br /><br />jon- it is really difficult but try to limit the hills that you run. my stubborness probably perpetuated my AT when I'd get the ascent bug. the best thing that worked for me was submerging my foot up to my mid calf in a cooler of ice water for 20 min. i would then let my foot rewarm and then repeat with the ice bath for another 20. i would do up to 3 sessions- the daily consistency works best- if possible do it right after your run. i also would wrap my lower leg with an ace bandage for compression throughout the night.<br />hydration, rest, ice, compression, and elevation are tried and true principles- i found that ice and compression worked the best for me- rest as much as you can- though it can be ridiculously aggravating...best of luck on the recovery!burchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16365365915635187563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998541749391503771.post-66044066229991423672010-10-20T19:32:21.053-06:002010-10-20T19:32:21.053-06:00Ryan- I'm fighting a bit of Achilles tendoniti...Ryan- I'm fighting a bit of Achilles tendonitis right now, too.

The other day I had thought to ask you ...Nice job!<br /><br />The other day I had thought to ask you what would make a good 1 to 2-hour run nearby (the kind of thing a trail runner might do as a daily run). I stay there now and then, and I've enjoyed the Rocks, but it's good to have other options. Thx.mtnrunner2https://www.blogger.com/profile/10974435572236740294noreply@blogger.com
