Aches in left Achilles felt ok and enjoying the first 3 minute run. Come on Laura, I must have done 2 minutes now!Apparently not so keep running. Achilles fine. Still no Laura😩. Keep running then check phone: Laura paused! No idea how long I’d been running maybe extra 2 minutes but carried on where it had paused from but got to a really steep bit of the road and OUCH, right, previously pain free calf shot through with pain. Was nearly at a walk break so carried on semi limping. At bell turned back and pain lessened but was way out on distance and must have walked for an extra 5 mins before home . Going shopping for some better trainers as feels like my foot swivels a little round the ankle even though they are decent Nike ones but ancient and probably just generic rather than running. Lungs felt good. Calf felt painful, thighs a bit heavy. Must learn to lock phone and hope rest day sorts me out!
