I Tore My Calf at Melbourne Marathon in the Puma Fast-R 3 - Is Valencia Over?

Matt reflects on a disappointing Melbourne Marathon after calf pain at 12K developed into a race-ending injury at 20K. An MRI revealed a 15cm grade 3B soleus tear, with evidence of an older injury in the same area—putting his Valencia Marathon plans in doubt.
