Monday get together

Strangely Monday is almost the most popular running day of the HuRTs week.  Big crowd today including MC, Charlie, Erika, Renee, Sonya, Enda, Birchy, Jacquie et al.  Achilles a bit sore again - need to stretch and get the magnesium in.  Too much beer and too much heat makes the body very stiff.  Out to Barangaroo and back around the wharves.  Finished up with 4 x 80m hills with Erika for 17km all up.  Legs and achilles felt much better after the 4th hill rep than before, as ever.

Plenty of banter and stories today with Charlie cowering inside his house all last night because he's forgotten how to fight and Mikey giving us his stock picks after telling us he did 7 hours of meditative silence yesterday.  He's unique, that fella.

Do you find magnesium helps with achilles soreness or soreness in general? My achilles get a bit sore/stiff occasionally and while i've never had an all-out achilles injury and it generally seems to go away eventually, it can be quite the annoyance when it presents itself.

Hi, I find my achilles flares up when my glutes and hamstrings are stiff - the weakness just presents itself further down my leg. Magnesium helps ease the muscles to stretch the glutes and hammies properly.
