I went for a run last night. W5R2, I felt fine after the 5 minute warm-up. As soon as I started to run, my left calf muscle went really tight for a few seconds. I managed to keep going, but was a bit uncomfortable. Is this purely down to hydration, or could it be something else?? Thanks in advance. Lee.
Cramp in calf muscle. Hydration issue?? - Couch to 5K
