As runners get older, they become more susceptible to calf injuries, particularly male masters runners. David Habas, an accomplished 56-year-old endurance athlete from Lafayette, Cal., has completed numerous events, including an Ironman triathlon, three marathons, and ten half-marathons, but has had to deal with injuries that have hindered his ability to continue competing.

Few names in middle distance running get people talking more than Alan Webb. The ridiculously talented American was the first high school athlete in American history to break the four-minute mile when he clocked 3:59.86 in January 2001. However, it was his run four months later, on May 27, 2001, that revitalised American distance running; when he smashed Jim Ryun’s high school mile record stopping the clock at 3:53.43 to shatter Ryun's 36-year-old national high school record of 3:55.3. Webb would go on as a senior to break the American mile record with his 3:46 in 2007.

Kerryn McCann was best known as a marathoner – but she was one of Australia’s best all-round distance runners.
As Len Johnson states in 'Australian Marathon Stars' - "She didn’t have a mean bone in her body, but she was a fierce competitor who didn’t like to lose."
She was best known for winning the marathon at the 2002 and 2006 Commonwealth Games.
While training for a marathon, getting into trail running or tackling a first 5k, we often hear about the high injury rates and understand that there is a possibility of getting injured. We anticipate typical injuries such as a runner's knee or Achilles tendonitis, but what if our pain doesn't seem to fit any of the common categories? What if the sore spot and tender area don't match any running injuries we've heard about before? Peroneal tendinitis is one such condition, and although it's not as common as other types of tendon pain, it's still frustrating, especially when we can't pinpoint the exact source of the pain.

“I had broken 2:09. I forgot my exhaustion. Within a couple (of) hours, the agony of a world record run would manifest itself. The elation would be replaced by fear. I would be urinating quantities of blood and vomiting black mucous. The race left me so totally...
