The guy who I get my sports massage told me to do this for my Achilles - which worked - but it also sent my plantar packing as well. I just finished the Votwo Oner without problems having started to suffer ony about 4 weeks beforehand.<br /><br />The Alfredson 180 calf raises<br />The specific eccentric training regime often recommended for Achilles pathologies is the Alfredson ‘180 repetition’ calf raise programme. The regime is named after the researcher Hakan Alfredson, who stumbled upon this treatment while he was trying to rupture his own degenerative Achilles tendon with repeated bouts of high volume exercising through pain. Instead of rupturing, his Achilles improved. He went on to pilot research studies that demonstrated the benefits of high volume eccentric exercise in tendon management <br /><br />The athlete stands on the bottom step of a staircase, facing inwards, hands lightly supporting at either side. The forefoot of the affected leg is placed on the edge of the step. The athlete lowers their body down by dropping the heel of the affected leg over the edge, with control; then places the foot of the non-affected leg on the step to raise the body back up to the starting point. If this proves too difficult, or if both Achilles are affected, it is possible to raise back up on two legs (thereby sharing the concentric load) and coming down on a single leg (this is the “2 up, 1 down” concept).<br /><br />Perform 3 x 15 eccentric heel drops with the knee straight and 3 x 15 repetitions with the knee bent, repeated twice daily.Graham Smedleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12235188786963196983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2803784196582170829.post-83627407481933345682012-03-25T20:36:20.291+01:002012-03-25T20:36:20.291+01:00I saw that self same Tardis yesterday.
First time...I saw that self same Tardis yesterday.<br /><br />First time I've done the Charnwood event, and wasn't it a lovely day ?<br /><br />As a walker I enjoyed hours of glorious sunshine .... that I'm paying for now, but still loved it.RWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851523036662475837noreply@blogger.com
