Oh no Ross, sorry to hear you're having tendon problems now. I always struggle with injuries that require stretching and physio as I'm not very disciplined and stop stretching as soon as I feel better!
Thanks so much for posting about the flax seeds and cactus paddles. I don't think the cactus paddles will be widely available in sunny scotland so I've ordered some seeds to see if I can try my hand at a bit of gardening Mexico style. I will def try the flax seeds as they're available, just need to find some reasonably priced.
Going to gradually start increasing my runs now so we'll see what happens!
