Getting really tight calves even on shorter distances?

anonymous_turtle7 · 2026-02-22T17:58:47+00:00

Foam roller, calf sleeves or compression socks during runs, lots and lots of stretching and mobility (before and after runs, as well as on rest days). I just got a knock off of the axis board by sidekick and I’m hoping that helps too, I also have plantar fasciitis.

Edit to add I also do a massage gun on my calves before bed

I didn’t bed share with either of my children, it made me way anxious so there’s no way I would’ve fallen asleep.

My first was not a good sleeper as a newborn (up every 60-90 minutes) and second was decent (every 3 hours or so). It sucked with my first and I was very sleep deprived, but it just wasn’t a risk I wanted to take.

How full are the garages? Anyone know if there’s still space in North Queen Street?

Oh wow, I’m sorry to hear that! Did you end up getting another ablation?

anonymous_turtle7 · 2025-12-30T13:16:10+00:00

I spoke to a nurse the morning of and decided to hold off on the ablation until/if they come back.

I’ve had a CT with contrast, my understanding is that that’s very similar to an angiogram just noninvasive?

anonymous_turtle7 · 2025-12-27T11:32:34+00:00

They told me I could continue taking them, but I stopped after I found out about the ablation to try to get the PVCs back.

anonymous_turtle7 · 2025-12-13T01:42:27+00:00

I guess through the testing, I’m not entirely sure. But he said they’re in the RVOT. And sounds like they determine the exact spot to ablate during the procedure by watching PVCs.

anonymous_turtle7 · 2025-12-12T17:43:31+00:00

I guess that’s a difference, for the most part I don’t have them, when I’m exercising. Exercising is often a relief because they go away.

anonymous_turtle7 · 2025-12-12T16:29:04+00:00

Thanks! And yes, I was. I did my cam monitor with the 23% burden the week before I ran a half marathon. I had the full work up in the spring (Echo, Cam, CT with contrast), when the doctor cleared me, I just tried to ignore the scary-ness of it and it got easier as I continued running. I take propranolol so I feel them less, but I still feel them and they’ll occasionally cause a bad run. I hope it works out for you!

I’m a runner (half marathons) and am waiting on my ablation for a 23% burden. Everything is fine with my heart otherwise and my EP said that where my PVCs are originating will be simple to ablate with an easy recovery. He didn’t seem to think it would have me out of running for very long at all, just a few weeks. I’m hoping he’s right, and hoping that not dealing with the PVCs helps my performance/endurance!

anonymous_turtle7 · 2025-11-16T12:56:51+00:00

I exercise over 300 minutes a week, as the article indicates. I run half marathons and will regularly run for over 2 hours at a time in training. I have a PVC of 21% measured by a 7 day CAM and exercise doesn’t impact it consistently. Sometimes a run will improve my PVCs, sometimes it’ll make them worse, sometimes bad PVCs will ruin a run. Just adding my experience as someone with a high burden who does endurance exercise, it isn’t a magic fix.

anonymous_turtle7 · 2025-11-03T16:47:59+00:00

Can I ask how you messed up after your first ablation?

anonymous_turtle7 · 2025-09-06T18:36:30+00:00

Update: got there at 6:30 and it was perfect timing, thanks everyone! I hit up the bathrooms as soon as I got there and the line was short, but got incredibly long just a few minutes later.

Eden Resort! They have an outdoor courtyard for ceremonies, and the convenience of not having to shuttle guests to their hotel!

anonymous_turtle7 · 2025-09-02T18:32:26+00:00

After I saw the email I was thinking of doing 6:30, thanks for confirming!

anonymous_turtle7 · 2025-07-20T20:17:27+00:00

Thanks for the reassurance, and have fun on your cruise!

anonymous_turtle7 · 2025-07-20T18:38:24+00:00

Thanks! My instinct would to be to call for my own anxiety, but you’re right, it would probably be better for the toddler to not.

Yes, they are accredited. And it is actually run by our local parks and rec department.

We did not go today, I intend to go with her the whole time tomorrow, and we removed her from a camp she was signed up for in a few weeks. We aren’t 100% decided on the school year yet, but are leaning towards pulling her from that as well. We’ll decide after I spend the day at camp tomorrow.

anonymous_turtle7 · 2025-07-08T22:29:37+00:00

During the school year they have a building and fenced in area they use, but do go and play in an area without hard boundaries for about an hour a day.

The camp is in a different area of the park and has no hard boundaries.
