I've made a discovery over the last month or so, running on dodgy uneven ground, slippy and lose stuff, has meant that I'm not getting the tendonitis swelling after my runs. Maybe by doing this I'm strengthening my ankles and calfs?
I really miss the dynamic movement i get from playing a team sport. All the bumps, direction changes, sprints and odd balances that you need.

I think it's the repetitive impact that really aggravates your body. I've heard trails are better for you for that reason. Glad it's feeling better.
I am also missing sport. I did muay thai twice a week and I've no idea when that will return. I have a lot less bumps and bruises tho. -
Also that you are varying the part of muscle/tendon being used, rather than the same part every time. Similarly I find running varying inclines (hills) better for not getting sore, though not good for my average pace.

When I went to the physio he said it was probably down to a weakness in my calf.
Another thing he said was concentrate on keeping my feet loose when running. If it carries on, and when social distancing is relaxed, I'd really recommend going to one - it helped me loads.
