Week 7 on hiatus as back on IC :-(

Not happy!

I'm really enjoying the programme but right at the end of w7r1 as I was 20 mins in feeling great despite high winds my calf pulled again. Exactly the same as my week 5 injury which put me out for 9/10 days.

I rested as much as possible for a week but then we went to London for the weekend which involved a lot of walking and I think that may have set me back again.

I've got a compression bandage and it's starting to feel a lot better now. I just want to get back out there!!! It's my birthday on 13th May and I really really wanted to graduate before then

Sorry to hear about your injury. My calf muscle started to tighten during my run on Sunday. Today, 5 mins from completing my first 20-min run it started again. I dug deep and finished the run but have been having twinges all day. I've just had a warm bath and am using my son's foam roller on my calf. It's apparently very good at sorting out muscle tightening/pulls.  It's my birthday on 13th May too. I'm hoping to run my first Parkrun the day after; a week before I'm due to finish the plan. Hoping the excitement will get me through! Best of luck with your recovery, you will get there!

Thanks littlemissronnie. Yay for another Friday 13th birthday

Think i'll give the roller a try. Hope your calf settles down too
