| joch55 | 5 days | Seems this one didn't last long. Maybe because I've started immediately to do eccentric calf stretching, or maybe just because it was an acute tendonitis rather than a chronic tendonosis this time. | details |

| mikee | 7 days | Probably caused by increased training plus unusual stress on the foot (snowshoeing plus a long off-trail training in snow). I think rest is the most important in this case. Used anti-inflamotory gel. Should not have done the training 31.12.05. | details |

| iansmith | 7 days | Continuing to use old running shoes either uniquely caused or contributed to the discomfort I was experiencing. After realizing this, I discarded my shoes and spent several days resting before resuming activity. The pain abated after this rest period, though my achilles felt a bit tight after extended use. I briefly used iced, applied heat pads, and used NSAIDs after exercising. I experimented with compression sleeves (Ace bandages) intermittently. | details |

| Scotta | 9 days | I think I made two stupid mistakes: 1. I did not warm up before the race. I sat inside the chalet until the start, then hammered. The big hill immediately at the start is followed by relentless hills for 20k or so. 2. New ski boots.I switched from Solomon Race Skate 9 to the Solomon RS Carbon. Supposedly it encourages ankle flex; I haven't trained on them jut bought them and raced in them. Violated the golden rule of never trying new equipment on race day.

Need to allow for more rest, especially after hard runs and races. Probably shouldn't have mixed as many races into the training schedule, as they seem to tie to the injuries. Achilles and calf problems are one in the same, and I need to add a weight training regimen to help avoid the problem in the future. Anti inflammatory prescriptions both helped. P... | details |

| manolo | 28 days | Increased mileage and speed too abruptly (inexperience). Stopped running for 1 week, ran again and made it worst. Decided to rest, apply ice and do eccentric stretches. The combination of these three healed it (90%) in 3 weeks, and strengthened it...After 4 weeks pain was gone for good. During the healing period, I educated myself about running, how to increase mileage, endurance, stamina, etc. I also do warm up now and understand the importance of it! Eccentric stretches are the best! | details |
| Chas | 28 days | Not sure what caused it but first sign was lower calf soreness. Could have been as a result of trying to do some speedwork. Get treatment early next time this happens. Gradual build-up, running alternate days seemed to work quite well. Don't try doing intervals until I've built in some efforts into my normal steady runs first. | details |

| cunderwood | 37 days | We think it was caused my unbalance in muscle and tight hamstrings. to keep balanced muscles dont run the same direction around the track or on the same side of the road when you run. Switch sides every few minutes. What helped recover? Time and stretching. To prevent reinjury do calf raises and hold. Make sure you go straight up and don't turn foot at end. | details |
| jamacki | 37 days | had to take the first week off. Then reduced volume, and stride approach. Then kept stretching massaging and using. Still can feel it but its not the main focus in each workout and not a limiter anymore | details |

| JonD | 41 days | took 2 weeks off from running; went back to running before it was completely pain-free but this seemed to actually help; vigorous stretching of calf plus use of "foam roller" on calf really helped. direct massage of tendon also helped. Notably, using the neoprene sleeve and stretchy brace did not seem to help w/ swelling but might have kept it supple over night. wearing orthotics during all activities seemed to help | details |

| angela | 51 days | due to pressure on bursa on heal from shoes due to lots of training. Rest seemed to help I guess. Heal less casual shoes. U padding on heal to prevent further pressure/pain. | details |
| casser | 52 days | Waited around for a while - but really little amounts of exercise is better as the achilles needs to be stretched a bit to get better - probably it would have been even better to do the excentric calf exercises. Anyway now it is good enough to train even through it is still sore. On the other hand one or the other achilles has always been sore in the mornings when I was training for real and not just for fitness as now | details |

| Nadim | 68 days | Rest and cross training. | details |
| apetren | 68 days | I think that I ran much on athletics track, was the cause to the injury, combined with more training than before. Much rehab training in the beginning, about 1-2 hours a day, containing much balance exercises, and for the calf muscles. Don't even think of running long distance. Massage in liniment together with some pain killing ointment Voltaren f ex. It's important that you take the ointment first and the liniment after. Do this twice a day for 1-2 weeks and it's cured (For me). | details |

The injury is not over yet, but now it's so much better I rarely feel it, and even then only when I "pinch" the tendon. I never feel it during runs now. I am going to continue the calf exercises until it's completely cured, but I can probably finally close this six months old injury report. | details |

I think it was caused by running on the treadmill, i wore a pair of shoes that wasn't my own, and ran fast for 6-8 miles. Dumb, really, except I didn't know it was dumb at the time. | details |

Ongoing management: eccentric exercises at reduced volume. | details |

| Linear Ice | 389 days | I think it was caused primarily by faster running, specifically on treadmill and stretching out too far. I believe that changing my cadence (180/min) and running slower helped quite a bit. I still can press the AT and feel some discomfort, but not when running so after more than a year I am calling it "resolved" but I will have to remain vigilant and stay a bit more cautious (slow). | details |

| paul | 516 days | I caused my injuries by running home, not in running shoes, severly pissed after a work party in the middle of nowhere at which noone was in any condition to drive!. At first it was inspirational, It was pissing cats and dogs, I was invincible, the 15km hilly run was a piece of piss and was going to be the start of my comback. (did I mention I was quite inebriated). Boy were my calves tight the next day!!!!!! What a dumb ass! Spent the next 2 1/2 years trying to sort out both achilles...... | details |
