ok so as you can see my two calves look quite different when flexed. trying to figure out which muscle is which? esp the right, why does it look like three muscles? the left I'm assuming is just less developed gastrocs?
training for my first half last year was so fun.. until I got diagnosed with a stress fracture shortly after making it through my first 10k. posterior tib grade 4b. crutches, boot, whole 9 yards. it took about 4 months before I started running again, via a run/walk program coupled with strength progressions through PT. 3 months of rehab later, I'm running 30 minutes at a time, pain free. then my foot starts to hurt. so we back off running. it doesn't get better after 3 weeks, and now I have officially been diagnosed with another stress fracture. this time in my 2nd metatarsal, same leg as the tib. back in the boot, just grateful to not need crutches this time... feels like I'm never getting out of this loop! how did I get another stress fracture from rehab??? :(
