Managed to complete today’s run but found my calves were feeling tight from the get go, I did do some stretches before and after my last run is it normal? 🤔 only felt like I got into my stride on the last 5 minute run and could have kept going so my stamina is improving. Thinking I may need to invest in some new shoes as I think I overpronate having done the brooks online test.

Tight calves could be shoes, could be hydration but don’t listen to me i know nothing others will
Just wanted to say well done for keeping going, have you tried yoga? see i’m full of bright ideas
I’m at exactly the same point as you. I don’t stretch before I go out but I do a c8 min yoga based stretch when I get in. I noticed tight calf muscles today, more one leg than the other but it wasn’t painful so I’m ignoring it 👍👍
