My calves feel so tight and my ankles feel sore. I've not run for a week and no amount of stretching and foam rolling seems to work. Is it running related or am I just old??🤔🤔
Why do I feel so stiff ??(no sniggering please) - Couch to 5K

Not sure how old you are..? Maybe time for a wonderful sports massage

Massage sounds good👏
Are you running too fast? Are you drinking enough water? Are you walking on rest days? Epsom salts bath after a run does wonders too!

To keep everything moving when not running you should get out and walk loads it will ease up that stiffness. Good luck 😊

I do plenty of walking when I'm not running, drink loads of water and I stretch and foam roll too. The Epsom salts sound good as does the massage. Thanks all.
