Congratulations on your recovery, and I hope that your future endeavors bring good health and success. You're quite a talented athlete. I am a local occasional somewhat mediocre ultra runner in Phoenix, and in my last 16 years of being involved with ultras I've met and known a lot of amazingly talented runners. Some are old like me and still healthy and kicking and trying to do this ultra thing, some are burned out and done with ultras, and I hate to say it but a few of them are no longer with us, perishing at too young an age. One thing that all of the long timers have in common is lots of time off, lots of strength training and cross training, and maybe one or two good long races per year. What all of the burnouts had in common, including the few that perished, was lots and lots of training and a ton of racing over an extended period of time. I hope you don't take offense to my question because it is pure curiosity and nothing personal. Do you think that with the somewhat recent growth of ultrarunning as a sport that too many exceptional athletes are racing too much and not resting enough, thus leading to a lot of injury and metabolic overload, and finally an early demise (I've noticed a 3-5 year shelf life for most, with some exceptions), and if so what do you think is causing this?

I ended up overusing my left calf so much that it irritated the achilles tendon. I ended up putting a heel cup in my shoe and used it for over a month with high mileage. That was a downfall as it caused my calf to be shortened and it became a knotted bundle. I have since not had to use the heel cup, and have maintained stretching of my calf and eccentric strengthening exercises to keep it from happening again.

Did you make any adjustments so it doesn't happen again, or is this going to be an ongoing maintenance thing?Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10199874258809191220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-687066781288128183.post-10211921935002213392016-03-27T22:56:16.682-07:002016-03-27T22:56:16.682-07:00So happy to hear that you are on the mend!
