Achilles/lower calf numbness
I am over 12 weeks into an 18 week marathon training program when last week I noticed numbness between the middle of my right Achilles and calf. I have switched to cross training and gotten a sports massage, but the numbness has not completely gone away. Any ideas as to what to do now? I really want to run the NYC marathon on Nov. 3 and need to get back to my training, but I don’t want to do permanent damage.

I don’t know what your injury is, but if you’re running NYC that’s still far away and you can afford to take acouple days off.
Take advils and stretch lightly, and maybe get some new shoes if you’re pushing the limits on miles on the old pair.
I’ve found that switching to x-training doesn’t always help if you’re still stressing the offending body part, so to speak.
