I completed W9R3 on saturday morning. Since the runs have become longer I've been getting discomfort in both legs around the calf. It's not enough to stop me running but I can still feel twinges in both legs two days later. I've got the right shoes (had gait analysis) and i've been using compression sleeves since the start of week nine. I'm also stretching them before and after and drinking.
Any other tips/advice would be much appreciated.
Cheers

Have you tried a foam roller? I tend to suffer with calf pain too and also wear compression sleeves which do help. When my calves are sore, a good workout with the roller is really effective.
