Cyclists with a "Running" Problem

[Khronis]

Thanks

Doesn’t look like Switzerland is taking part

 

Switzerland is in position 68. It all depends on how many people registered for a specific country and did at least a 3km run in 30 minutes

And on that topics from news24 "

They probably think corona is just a rumour too

It would be useful if they showed how many participants from each country

Was wondering, do you run with orthotics or the standard insoles?

Have you ever tried a heel raiser?

 

While it might not be the cause of your injury, some of the modern shoes have lowered their heel drop gradually over the years and this can put pressure on your Achilles if they are to tight / short.

 

Can you squat barefoot right down onto your haunches without lifting your heels off the ground?

If not, it’s an indication that your Achilles are not very flexible or to short.

Discovered that problem when I bought my second pair of running shoes (Maxed) - almost immediate Achilles/calf pain.

 

Made sure the next pair (Asics) had less heel drop and problem ended at once.

Perhaps like the route this will also be changed the Friday night...

Look at all those flags. I would suspect half of them won't be coming though

I am surprised to see Tunisia in number 4.

Next round this coming weekend.

It runs from Thursday to Wednesday, so today is the first day of the second round.

At least that's what it says today, but the next post shows the timeline.
