Ive made it w6r2 somehow even though i couldnt run for a minute without nearly dying at the start! In run 6r1&2 ive been getting a really bad pain in the lower calf of my legs just above the heel, it feels like cramp but doesnt go away, Can anyone help why this is?

brilliant progress so far.

If it's "really bad pain", please get it checked out by a professional!

Then, have you seen the FAQ? healthunlocked.com/couchto5... . There's lots of tips for running safely and slowly and injury-free, after your pain is resolved. Make sure, now you're in week 6 especially, that you have good running shoes fitted after gait analysis, stretch after runs, etc etc. Basically read the FAQ, it's all in there :)

good luck!
