Signed up for 10K in August!

Recently completed C25K and now running 5K about 3 times a week. Best time yet has been 35 mins but usually do it in 37-40. That pace suits me much better! Looking for a safe manageable way to increase distance. My ankles and calves have started to feel really tight when I run. Any advice out there? I do stretch fully after each run. Thanks!!

Well done on your running progress. ju-ju- is about to start her 10 is the Magic Number training up to 10k, why not give that a go?

Plenty of stretches and maybe try a foam roller, every day not just run days

Good luck!

As Millsie-J says, a foam roller is the way to go. For tight calves and ankles you can also self massage them while you're sitting down doing whatever.
