Earlier post detailed sudden calf pain. So motivated don’t want to stop but trip into town after is painful so going to leave it for a few days rather than hoping it’ll go away by next run as clearly it won’t . I’ll revert to walking and follow advice on here. So I’ll be behind but could be a long haul if I don’t heed advice . Was feeling really good too but know so many other people on here have had to rest but can pick back up pretty well so not end of world just a bit gutting! Will keep you posted. Love this forum - sooo helpful and motivating!

It’s a shame but these things happe, well done for being sensible (I hate that word). Better to finish in one piece eventually than be forced into giving up permanently.
