First time for a yr

[rugrat]

I've got painful calves after doing my first day of couch 2 5k. Won't give up though.

It gets better. Good for you for making the first step!

It wasn't as hard as I thought it might be getting back in to it.

Well done on getting started. Did you stretch after your run? If you didn't you might find that a good little stretching routine after your runs will do you the world of good.

I agree, have a good stretch when you get back and the calves will ease. Took me a good few weeks before mine were okay after a run but they are fine now.
