Calf Pain - how long to wait

2 Replies

Hi guys,

I've made it to W6R1 without feeling too bad. Tonight I was due to do W6R2 but both my legs hurt when I'm walking down the stairs.

It's not significant pain but more of discomfort. I've decided to delay my W6R2 till tomorrow to see if its feeling better.

Is attempting a run too soon? how long should I wait for?

I think an extra rest day will help... and asses how they are each day. Don’t worry, you won’t lose fitness and the runs will wait for you.

Rest.. stretch and see how it feels... if there is pain.. don't run through it..
