Congrats on completing your second run, even if the weather was against you! :) I always find the 2nd run of a week harder, not sure why... Enjoy your next run! :)

Yes, I can imagine! It's my rest day today and I'm quite happy not to have to run with/against the sudden gusts. Wind and rain are very exhausting, so you did extremely well. Be confident!

Well done, I did the same run today and my calves are aching too. Let's hope it gets easier. Keep on running ☺

Well done Suecan😊..

Keep hydrated on rest days and run days. Gentle leg stretches after your warm down walk while your muscles are still warm...

Good luck on Saturday...have fun😊x

Stretch well and make sure you unknot those calf muscles... very well done.

Keep it slow and keep it steady :)
