Physio appointment booked.

Last few training sessions (running specific) have been cut short due to my right leg muslcles (calf and shin) getting so tight I basically have to stop running. This is only after a few km of running!

Never had any issues before, feel like I'm ripe for an injury if I push it too hard. Need to figure it out. 👎

Tight leg muscles can pull your knee out of ideal forward hinging. I'm stretching all 4 sides of each leg and using magnesium brine spray to relax the muscles.

-Put foot on couch and inner thigh stretch

-Sit legs flat on ground and try to touch toes (loop towel below toes and pull to help)

-Do the 'couch stretch' shin lines up on back of couch, lean back towards foot

-For outer leg, put right leg over left hip/shoulder and loop towel below toes with a slight twist so that it's pulling the toes in as you stretch

Thank you! Actually tried some couch stretch's today and it felt good.

I've also been leaning against the wall standing with legs out at about 45 degrees and trying to point my toes towards my knees. It's giving me a good stretch on those shin muscles.
