Pre Manchester marathon calf went I thought it was because of my shoes I got rid of Pegasus and a few others that I identified could be causing the problem. But it's a bit of mystery what is causing the issues I'll keep rollering until I find it

He's a bit worried about my calves if I run further but I told him there's no chance of that. Would a new podiatrist be the answer?

I wear Brooks Ghost wide fitting trainers which are about 1 1/2 sizes too big and seem to have plenty of room for my dodgy feet.
