Subject: RE: First DNF Treat recovery like a race in itself. Depending on the grade of your injury you have x number of weeks to recover. Read as much as you can and treat rehab positively. Time to perhaps pay attention to some of the things it’s easy for us all to neglect; nutrition, core work, mobility and flexibility. What might have caused your injury? Does your technique need attention? Were there any warning signs you could have heeded? Do some reading, learn about your body and take some time to rest. Calf’s are notorious for re-injury so you have to treat this type of setback with huge respect. The next finish line you reach will be all the sweeter for getting over this. Personally, when I injured my calf I found it was likely to be a result of poor stability, lazy glute’s and a weak core so I really went to town on those. All in good time of course – RICE comes first. |
