So that’s done. Bit disappointed as felt left achilles all the way round and right calf started off fine but then niggled half way though first 3 mins and continued to niggle. Can’t say it’s pain but can’t run without being very aware of it and a tad anxious it might get worse. Shoes however just the job. Shame about the old croc wearing them. Lots of stretches and will see how start of week 4 goes after rest day. If not good then clearly longer rest needed. Feeling a bit fed up!

Hi ,,,

nice to see that you are honest with yourself ,, most people will try to be brave and hide the pain ,, the concept of running is altogether about being true to yourself ...

Lets talk about the pain ,,

The pain can be due to multiple reason ,, for a part of correction i think the proper warm up and some strengthening workouts will help ,, try it up

feel free to post any thing that concerns you

keep going
