My partially torn achilles is pretty fecked (Medical term).
The theory is that my free-running shoes allow me to over pronate, even though I'm forefoot strikeing in them. And that riding with my saddle too high (put my new bike together in a rush) also adds stress. My calfs are both very very tight. So while I reckon a little free-running adds variation, and can strengthen. I need to be a bit careful.
Feck I hate being injured.
