Almost made it to end of W4R3 but got a shooting pain on outside of calf. Felt it before but usually goes away after first run. Can still feel it even though finished run 20 mins ago. Any advice?
Calf pain? What do I do now?: Almost made it to... - Couch to 5K

The runner's first port of call is R. I. C. E. or rest, ice, compression and elevation.......... the greatest of these is rest.
There are variations of RICE so I would recommend you do your own Googling to discover details. Learning about your body and how to keep it functioning is part and parcel of becoming a runner and nothing beats your own research.
Thank you, will have a wee trawl online and see what comes up!
Apparently caused by over pronation which I knew I had but didn't realise it was the reason for that particular pain!!
Not what you're looking for?
