Ouch!
by Kevin Grogan
With the guidance of my crazy Russian running coach Alec, I was down at the NTC track two Wednesdays ago doing one of his intense secret track workouts. Everything was going as planned and then all at once, while rounding the curve, intense pain in the Achilles.
I quit the workout and hobbled to my car hoping that its just tendonitis and that it would go away swiftly. It did not, and it lingered on for a few days. I began to research what could be done.
Most of us learned it in grade school or maybe on your youth soccer. Stretching. I have not been doing enough. The fact of the matter is, stretching works to lengthen tight and stiff muscles and get a fresh blood flow to the muscles and stretching with a StretchRite or stretch rope was the answer for me. I am happy to say I am close to pain free again and my whole body feels great.
After two days of stretching the hamstrings, calves, and lower back, the foot pain went away. Each day it felt better. It was amazing. Stretching works...go figure?
Most of the world renown track stars that train in Clermont use them, and now I am a believer in the StretchRite program and it is a part of my daily routine.
