Been putting this off and repeated w5r4 four times!! Finally went for it this morning and something pinged in my calf on the 17th minute had to hobble and daughter came and picked me up. Iced calf and have it risen! Mixture of emotions elated that I managed 17 minutes of continuous running but know my calf is killing. I can gingerly walk on it with a flat foot but not on my toes :(

Rest up and let it heal properly. How you treat injuries and niggles is one of the most important lessons to learn in running, it is always best to give yourself enough time to heal. I am Sorry it happened and wishing you a speedy recovery. Rfc x.

Thank you, kept it up most of yesterday and hobbling about today at work. It feels a lot better than it did but it will be a few weeks before I attempt to run on it :) will have to step back a week or three too I expect.
