It being me, no end of drama 🤣 My mate was meant to be giving me a lift. Got to his house, he's not checked his phone so I have to run home and drive myself.
Driving there skidded twice on lethal black ice going down the Higgar Tor road.
Then got there & the organiser hadnt added me

Sorry contains pictures of feet 🙃
The main picture is blurry but it shows what's happening. Stick a bit to the ball of the foot. Then stretch the tape to heel. Back off the stretch slightly and then stick. Careful applying to Achilles without crumpling.

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.
You should find these

@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
