Yep!

I hate to say it not really, but "I told you so!" πŸ˜‰

The physio will give you a proper program that will strengthen relevant muscles and regenerate the calf.

They're really good with recovery stuff now. πŸ‘πŸ»

I had back trouble once, for example, and the physio actually gave me upper leg exercises to do to strengthen my back. Seems weird, but also nit when everything is connected. It worked pretty fast!

I'm glad you're going.

I'd honestly suggest you wait rather. In case you do more damage accidentally. 😬

Wish I could afford one! It's on the list!

I thought you might somehow! 🀣

I am being mostly sensible with this. And to be fair any exercises I picked would be too much as my physical strength has been neglected for ages.

Half the exercise (press-ups, crunches) won't hurt my calf. The other leg based exercises I was very careful and if I felt even the slightest 'sharp pain' I would have stopped immediately)

I'm still not gonna attempt running until its checked out next week, don't worry! πŸ˜‰

Wow, you're clever :D

Okay. Now I just feel guilty about how lazy I am :/

not really as 'clever' would have avoided the injury in the first place! 🀣

There may be many words to describe you Nicky, but 'lazy' is not one of them

Oh boy... you blaming yourself for getting hurt? πŸ€”

You ran a marathon. First one. And it was unexpectedly half on sand so... you should sue 'em 😈

Aren't you in the States? I hear people sue for anything over there! :D

Ah... thanks, Dan. Not lazy in some areas. That's true. But about starting proper physical training again, I've been a bit slack. Or resistant, should we call it.

If we took half of your motivation and half of my lack of it, we'd probably find a happy balance πŸ˜…
