Sore legs

[JT22]

Week 4 done but my calves are really sore, been given a few tips from a friend who is a physio so hopefully it’ll be easier next week, not feeling tired or too much out of breath but looking at run 3 of week 5 I’ll need to get it sorted by then or I’ll be crawling back home.

Well done! I take it you've been told to do some stretching afterwards, that will help..

Maybe slow down a tad, remember, slow & steady, you've been completing c25k weeks Ok, so building you to be able to handle the next runs, sounds like you'll smash 5.3, try not to overthink it, slow & steady is key..

It’s actually exercises to strengthen the calves I was given, they take most impact apparently so was told to do these on non run days.

Slow and steady does it.. and as davelinks says..those after run stretches are really essential..
