“It was very frustrating, of course, to have been injured as soon as the recoverysays Crestan. And even more than not to have had the right diagnosis immediately since I am on an internship thinking that I have no tears in the calf when there was still a concern, namely a disinsertion between and the sole and the aponévrosis. What is it due to? Perhaps a little too fast recovery phase after a release period. The fact remains that in Belek, it was impossible for me to run, I could only do alternative sessions. In total I still stayed more or less six weeks without running, with just aquajogging, cycling, bodybuilding and a little hypoxy on the program. “
For a month, Eliott Crestan has been training 100 %again, he said, while specifying that he did not yet feel ready to directly face the Cadors of the Diamond League circuit.

I looked Paris and Rabat with a little twinge in the heart. Here, I did not have room in Monaco on Friday but in any case I do not feel ready for this level yet. Maybe not the best idea.
