Week 5 run 3.....Epic fail. Calf strain left leg.

3 Replies

Calf pulled & feels like a hot needle being poked up it from bottom of calf. Really disappointed as I felt strong up to this point & felt like making headway.

Sounds awful!! Hope it feels better soon and you can get back to running! :)

Ibuprofen, ice and rest. I did exactly the same to my calf on week 5 - hopefully it will clear up in a few days X
