The irony of #trump complaining about his speech to the BBC
at a time he forced a shutdown, stopped SNAP payments, and is now making it harder to access healthcare.
He's what he said in that speech

The second is to try holding a calf raises just a tiny bit off the ground for 1.30 - 2 mins!!!
Again gently drive toes in to the ground.
I find this again really stresses the foot, whereas it's impossible to do more than 40 seconds of calf raises

Try these two isometrics.
The first is using a kitchen worktop. Do it in bare feet on a yoga mat. I use crocks as it protects from the hard floor.
Try to hold for 40s to 1 min. At the same time *gently* push toes into ground and pull your feet onwards to make them narrower.

Reading a book about the science of endurance and some of the brutal tests they put cyclists through.
Is this the next Zwift training feature?

@chaoscate.bsky.social been doing the long hold isometrics for more than 4 weeks now.
I think it's working. Feet getting stronger and the pf seems to be fading. The hold gets a good stress on all of the foot and Achilles

Watch from 42 minutes.
Explains stress relaxation. (There's much better YouTubes of him explaining it)
But look at the result!
Knee tendonopathy almost gone after 10mnths isometrics.

Bought a kilo of gelatine 🤣.
Yup take 10g a day. Crucially it has to be taken with vitc. So I use half a glass of undiluted ribena.
Found some interesting stuff about isometrics and tendon repair!
Search for Keith Baar, tendons, collagens and stress shielding
