My leg is failing me
Title says it… my leg is holding me back and it’s really getting to me. Picture of area for reference included.
I had always struggled with post-tib pain and soleus weakness. Ive been super diligent in managing it and doing all the right things (Physio, rehab, priming, flossing, rolling, collagen, you name it)
I am aiming for an ultra in the next 18 months to 2 years, so I’m starting small with distance after taking some time off. I’m also slow as fuck so I’m just plodding at this point.
Body can handle 7mins /km and can do 10km quite comfortably. Any time I try and do speed work, the post tib and soleus duo rears its ugly head and lets me know who’s really in charge. Honestly at this point I’m so frustrated I want to cry lol.
Only now it doesn’t feel muscular. It feels nervy. It’s not on the bone either so I’m confused. Am I too heavy (100kg, 76% muscle)? Am I not made for running anymore? Idk.
Has anyone experienced this? Can you share any pearls of wisdom to pull me out of this pit of dispare?
And yes I’m still seeing my Physio - I couldn’t get an appointment for another week so I’m holding out to see them
