The calves/achilles tendons are some of the most painful places to have massaged. I've worked on some 'mountains of men' who remain silent throughout their treatment - until, that is, the calves are worked on! There's a huge amount of nerves travelling underneath the calves into the feet. And they like letting you know they're there! I've found working the fascia through the towel first is often an effective way to 'soften them up' before getting into the 'nitty gritty' Good luck with your training! Jon I feel for you!
