Any tips for cramp tightness in back of calf /ankle area.

[Karenjlb]

Just done W3 R1 which amazes me. The last run on W2 and todays I had what I can only describe as a really tight painful cramp in yjr lower leg at the back. It goes when I walk but really hurts on the last run. Should I be doing something to prevent this ?

Are you stretching before and after your run?

[Karenjlb in reply to SIXmm]

I do not stretch before but I do afterwards. Maybe I should stretch after the warm up walk.

Remember active stretches before, static stretches after

Warm up well and stretch well after each run...

It could be your shoes too. Have you had gait analysis? Good luck
