Friday 20th March 1998 i was participating in a boxercise class and 50 minutes into the class whilst doing on-the-spot high knee sprints i injured my left calf. At first i thought it was a pulled muscle. But later it was revealed the soleus torn. Since then i have not run. Prior to my injury i had run three races, 25k, half marathon(1:21:00) and 10k(39:23) and was looking in good form for the London marathon on Sunday 26th April. My main concern was to recover from the injury which i think i have. I had a fitness test on a treadmill today consisting of 1 mile jog at 5mph for 2 laps and 6mph for 2 laps. Immediately after i went straight onto a bike and 10 mins hill profile program covering 4.2k. Straight off and onto treadmill to run 10 mins profile at 6mph. No reactions from the calf. I will continue to see a physio for a massage on the calf and continue with the stretchs. I would like to run the London marathon but its only 16 days away. Having missed 3 weekes i don`t know what to do. Maybe you can shed some light on the matter. Would you if you were in my place ?
