Glad to help! All the best

Thank you very much and I really hope so, got some turkey to work off 😂 cheers

Thank you very much! And same for you on your 2025 goals. Cheers 🍻

Thank you Mark and all the best to you too buddy 👍🏼

Mate I feel for you. You’re doing the right thing by going with your gut with this one. Any pain though from any exercises you should slow up and revisit in a week or so. Just to put your mind at rest I have made a full recovery from this particular injury (although struggling with a different injury now) so your running will be back before you know it. All the best!

@@StevoRuns Thank you. hope you recover quickly too. 🤍

Hi, it’s a camelback Dart.

Thank you!

Sorry for the delay! Good for you for doing your own research, hopefully you can the recover the way I did! I have zero lasting effects from that fracture. All the best with your recovery 👍🏼

Haha, what a bargain!

No problem! I probably got the cheapest I could get to do the job, as it was only getting me by whilst I was injured for running. Not sure to be honest

Time flies doesn’t it. Yes mate pretty much! I have some chocolate and some decaf for taste but in small enough amounts that a have zero old symptoms. Best thing I ever did to clear my neck tension issues. Are you trying it?

@ good man! So happy to hear that haha. No, I’ve tired and failed many times to quit caffeine only to go back to it. It’s ridiculously difficult for me. Alcohol on the other hand is easy to quit, but caffeine is another level. So I congratulate anyone who manages to quit caffeine and stay off it! Well done sir

@@CT-pv9gu thank you. Maybe one day something will change for you and it will become easier. All the best

Yes I’ll attach below amzn.eu/d/eoAEFf4

Thank you. Determined to get running again!

True, but you still feel it sloshing about compared to being tight. Fair shout though

Thanks a lot Kevin. I will deffo post about rehab especially if I work it out and can help someone else do the same. I’ve tried cycling, it’s just not the same! I’ll get there buddy this time next year I’ll be back in full flow!

@@StevoRunsThats it! Lets goo!! Lets set a goal on your weight too, this time next year you might be a heavy lifter too 😍 Keep the spirit high Stevo! 🔥🔥

Hi Ashley, yeah cheers for that, it is very frustrating this one. I’ve been thinking of doing strength videos but nobody records in that gym and I don’t wanna be that dickhead that starts doing it 😂 I’ll try find a way! Thank you and well done again on your 100k

Thanks Billy I will do!

Thanks a lot Michael! Determined to get it sorted no matter how long it takes.

Interesting, I’ve not heard of these so I’ll have a look into this for sure. Thanks you very much!

Cheers for writing and the advice. Yes I’m partly blaming my shoe selection too to be honest. My feet are weak and stiff, they feel dead and I’m putting it down to footwear choice throughout my whole life. My orthotics are in all day now and are staying in. I’ll keep lifting but as I mentioned, I’ll take out the exercises that seem to be flaring it up. Well done on working out what’s worked for you to sort the problem, I’ll hopefully get there too. Cheers

@@StevoRuns It's definitely a patient injury to deal with. Do you know when you are close to healed is when you can do a single heel lift. I do miss Vaporfly fast shoes! It was difficult running the Berlin marathon in my heavy brooks! But I did not upset the PTT and I took an additional few weeks off and I feel fine. Every week with the exercises...it feels better!! Also if you start running again....just easy and slow for a long time. it affected my running gait a lot too!

@@mamalk2697 yes I can do a single leg heel lift fine on both. I’m just not letting it rest enough maybe with work, gym etc. hopefully that means it isn’t too far away if I can heel lift. I will miss my Vapors too mate, they are on eBay as we speak haha. Brilliant shoes but doing more harm than good. Yes, easy miles for me when I’m back and I’ve been told by physio to work on gait too so hopefully this can all help.

Thanks, Mark. Yes it’s driving me mad but what can you do… Sorry to hear your heels playing up. If you have any suspicion that it’s tendonitis of Achilles etc then do what you can to clear it asap rather than run it into the ground like i did. Good luck mate, cheers.

Thank you! Yes 4 weeks is enough to be climbing the walls for sure but I’m glad you’re back running. Sorry I’ve only just seen your channel and subbed. I’ll be back at some point hopefully not too far away. Cheers

No sorry, didn’t think at the time. It’s a camelbak Dart if that’s any help. Cheers

@@StevoRuns got you.

They certainly are mate. Hopefully it’s all getting better from now!

😂 good I’m glad someone else related to that part. I still feel this way after 2+ years of quitting

The dreams are mad ain’t they! I think the anxiety is part of the process buddy and it will wear off as your body gets used to going without caffeine… hopefully anyway.

@@StevoRuns I hop so friend. I hop so. I watched all three videos (I guess it's 3) on the topic of quitting caffeine. Thanks for the motivation bro

@@dn-bayou yeah it’s 3. All still going good. All the best 👍🏼

Right behind you

Thanks!

You’re welcome, hope it was helpful!

@@StevoRuns Super helpful! Made it to one month now :)

That’s awesome keep going! Must be feeling the difference already!

Hmm, not that I can remember. Maybe when I stood up I got a bit dizzy but not sure if that was caffeine related. Keep an eye on that mate!

@@StevoRuns yeah cheers mate, only noticed it this past 3 days when I’ve been quitting but might be mistaking it for feeling nakered

You can use your teeth but I pinch the tip with my fingers then put it back in the clip when done.

It won’t work on the outside of the wheel mate, it needs to be as near to the centre as it can be.

Hello. Well done for quitting after probably a good few years drinking caffeine! I was corrected on the caffeine in paracetamol, they don’t all have caffeine in unless you choose the ones that do contain it. In my house as a youngster we had the Morrisons tablets and they always had it in and I assumed they all did. I am still off it it’s been a few years and I occasionally have one with caffeine and it makes me feel funny but perked up a bit. I accidentally had a large one from Costa yesterday and can’t remember ask in for decaf and it made me feel weird for hours so I keep off it now and have decaf which doesn’t affect me at all. How are you feeling after 8 days?

@StevoRuns thanks for the reply, and well done, you, I wasn't sure giving up caffeine would be beneficial in the long run. As I've never heard from anyone telling me if they thought it was worth giving up or not.. so I took to UA-cam, I've seen on a other channel saying it takes at least 3 weeks before you body is free of caffeine I'll give it that long at least. Thanks 😊

😂 typical mate ain’t it! I hope it’s not as bad as you fear buddy and you are back on the trails soon.

Hi. What a nightmare! You think about it breaking a lot after the injury and I still think about the noise mine made now. Yours does sound worse than mine and if it feels weak still then it definitely needs more time to heal, unfortunately. Be patient and you will make a full recovery im sure! All the best

😂😂 no way! So there wasn’t any ghost dogs in this one haha. Thank you for this, I did wonder about the curve in the picture I found on google. And the tunnel I was in always felt longer than I read online. I won’t be visiting shaughs tunnel anytime soon! Thanks for the clarification

Hey Kevin. Sorry to hear that buddy, something always pops up when you get near to marathon day! If I remember rightly I had a certain spot right in the centre of my calf that felt like a dead leg and it took a while. I depends on the severity of your injury I guess, if it’s just tingling now then hopefully it’s on the way to getting better and the last thing you want to do is twang it again. Stretching, icing and foam rolling didn’t help me if I remember rightly, it can just aggregate it further but I’m not experienced in getting rid of injuries really. Are you due your longest run this weekend? and what are your longest runs so far in this plan? I would say the bulk of the work is done and I’d be tempted to let it heal as much as it needs even if that takes you into taper weeks. Youre better off going into it very slightly less fit and pain free than it being game over after one mile with your calf pulling. Sorry i can’t be more help but every case is different so I’d just play it by ear and do what you can when you can.

Sorry me again, maybe if it’s still painful after the weekend, you could do some other cardio like cycling to keep your fitness up towards the race, that would give it time to heal fully and keep you sharp. I’m sure you will suss it out!

Thank you so much Stevo for replying. I am a solo runner, so its nice to talk to someone. So this is roughly my mileage for the last 4 weeks Week 4 - 90km (Long run 34km) Week 5 - 87km (Long run 30km) Week 6 - 81km (Long run 34 km) Week 7 - 60km (Long run 22km) Week 8 - 59km (injured on Thursday) Week 9 - this week Week 10 - next week Week 11 - taper week Week 12 - race week on sunday So I got injured in my week 8 where I just finished a down week, but I got carried away trying to do 12-15k a day from 10-12k a day. seems the overtraining got me. This week was supposed to be my biggest week to hit 34-36k but certainly wont be able to do that i think. I went to my physio who cleared me to run 5k on a Friday and if ifs good to run 10k on Sunday (Saturday rest). Today which is Wednesday, I can already do 3 set of 20 single leg calf raise and 3 set of 10 single leg hop lunges. It seems that I can run, but again don't know if Friday is too soon or too late, and dont know how should i plan my remaining weeks. Also, I don't have a coach either, I was mainly trying to run everyday (easy slow run) with long run on Sunday. Thanks again Stevo! for the response I cant imagine I got a response 😊. Appreciate it 🙏

Hey anytime buddy I love talking running! It sounds like you’ve got some really good running weeks in before your calf strain so I wouldn’t panic. What the physio said sounds like good news to me and I’d feel encouraged that I’d be fine for the marathon. I would do as they said with the 5k and 10k but if you’re worried about it flaring up then you could start next week with what you was due to do this week. Just keep in mind how you hurt it in the first place, it’s so easy to get carried away, I’ve been there too many times and am dealing with my worst injury to date from ultra training! All the best to you and please let me know how it’s going or how the marathon went! Cheers

@nandapartners and remember, like 80% of a completed marathon plan is good enough so you’re right on par to get there in good fitness. There’s always some sort of set back. Cheers

Not feeling good huh 😂

@@StevoRuns💚 noooooo..... day 6 better though!

What’s the reasons for wanting to quit? If it’s only one per day and you have no side effects then you’re fine, but you want to quit, so there must be something telling you to stop? It shouldn’t be too difficult for you to give it a try and see what difference it makes and see if one coffee is actually worth having or is it making you tired etc. I would stop for a month and see. All the best

@StevoRuns sleep issues so yeah I need to quit it, I'll just stick with creatine

😂

I don’t have a picture I’m afraid. The x ray showed a piece of the bone had come off the bottom of my ankle, right on the tip. Sorry I haven’t a pic to show you

Thank you, it’s been a long lay-off already but I’ll get there. I’m still off the caffeine as such, I occasionally have a normal coffee if that’s all that’s available but I haven’t had enough to cause any old issues I used to have. I do enjoy decaf though, it tastes the same to me but without the symptoms. Thanks

That’s brilliant that’s it’s made such a difference for you too! I definitely makes you want to carry on being caffeine free doesn’t it. I’ve never seen dandelion tea bags anywhere but I sure will have a look for some, thanks for the tip!

@@StevoRuns Hell yeah ! I really am blown away by the positive effects Ive experienced. Especially sleeping better. It’s something Ive struggled with all my life and social anxiety/ shyness. I’m Australian, maybe the dandelion tea is easier to get here ? I eat white chocolate too, these days (no caffeine) Great video. 😊👍✌️
