I have had lots of problem with my Achilles tendon and it sounds like your new shoes are not giving you the same support as your old ones did. One way to sort it out is to get yourself a pair of custom made insoles for your shoes. <br />That will do the trick.<br />Best!<br />LarsAchilles heel pain treamenthttp://www.achillestendonitisx.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13425555.post-1838797981960771222009-04-19T00:24:00.000-04:002009-04-19T00:24:00.000-04:00Nice, ran 14 miles today too.Nice, ran 14 miles today too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13425555.post-17423610272366363152009-03-14T23:31:00.000-04:002009-03-14T23:31:00.000-04:00I heart Saucony's, but not Triumphs.

I've worn Saucony for years and when my shoe guy told me they weren't making my style (Grid Stabil) anymore I asked him to search the entire USA for whatever was left on the shelves. He managed to find two pair and they were discounted to $60! I hope your calves are feeling better.

LOL! Seriously, they sound great for waiting, etc. Second, when I wore Sauconys, one pair in the almost 21 years of running, I had constant calf cramps (the charley horse type that stop you in your tracks) to the point where I almost could not run. They came on during races, on training runs, etc. but totally went away when I ditched the shoes. Weird coincidence, but it might be something to it.Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12302710072433158197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13425555.post-44937368542143446632009-03-10T13:50:00.000-04:002009-03-10T13:50:00.000-04:00As others have said - no speedwork and take the sh...As others have said - no speedwork and take the shoes in. If nothing else maybe you can find a better insert for them. <BR/><BR/>Sucks to hurt like that. My guess, from consulting Dr. Google, is that you have insufficient arch support in those shoes.21stCenturyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02370504811536749950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13425555.post-87059008874729972772009-03-10T11:11:00.000-04:002009-03-10T11:11:00.000-04:00Well done Jeanne!Well done Jeanne!Neal Carltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12063342139739661990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13425555.post-78639335816765467902009-03-10T11:03:00.000-04:002009-03-10T11:03:00.000-04:00Oh man!

And I would take those shoes back to the shoe store and tell them what happened. Though they may not give you a full credit because you've used them outdoors, they might give you a partial credit and either way should help you find some running shoes that will work for you. If not, you can slam them on your blog and ruin their business ;-)ShirleyPerlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09237828591170908960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13425555.post-48390562263985783292009-03-10T08:15:00.000-04:002009-03-10T08:15:00.000-04:00Oh Jeanne.

Too bad it isn't your left calf - then we could limp run in sync.<BR/><BR/>And maybe we could just trip Ray and bring him down to our level?<BR/><BR/>I would say DO NOT do speed work with your calf hurting. Trying to run fast usually exacerbates my calf pain. Of course, we might have different calf pains, but that has been my experience.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05200952523325532145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13425555.post-29734421631985932822009-03-10T00:31:00.000-04:002009-03-10T00:31:00.000-04:00i don't know if "no cabs in the woods" is the titl...i don't know if "no cabs in the woods" is the title of a children's picture book a horror flick.IHateToasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04633931901451915280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13425555.post-88827556528320284972009-03-10T00:09:00.000-04:002009-03-10T00:09:00.000-04:00I have no clue how all you people have time for 3 ...I have no clue how all you people have time for 3 mile runs!
