This has been me, recurring calf strains for the past 4 years have all but stopped me running now when I used to be racing most weekends! I dabbled with physio but got injured the session right after i finished their programme so lost all faith and reverted to doing some stuff on my own, running fine for a few weeks then getting injured again (and repeat endlessly!).

Have finally just phoned up and booked myself onto Denise Park's waiting list, I won't get to see her until the new year but I figure if she can't fix me no one will, and so I know then to give the running up as a bad joke. But I miss it so much I really need to know once and for all, cycling is great but i'd estimate even at it's best it gives me 40-50% of the enjoyment that comes from racing round Langdale on a hellishly grim lakeland day!
