Just 2 run to go and injured my leg at 24 mins and had to stop and walk, taking what feels like forever to get better, still feel tight in my Calfe. A bit frightened knowing when to try again, not yet for sure, could cry. Soooooo want to finish. 😩😩

Sorry about that Olaf, sounds that you come from Norway, take a few days off running and you can resume your runs, particularly as you are so close to graduating. 😊🏃

Rest it well and assess the situation in a couple of days... if it’s not starting to ease, then go get it checked out. You’ll finish this, don’t worry about that, and while I can’t predict when you’ll be back, when you do come back keep the pace down and take the first run really gently.

If you want to then have a really good cry 😢

It works well for a lot of people.

But being Blue Blood British I have not tried it myself 😂

You can and will complete this and it will mean so much more to you when you do. Keep the faith ✊
