Sore calf

[lauraberne]

I have just complete week 4 run 3 and I one of my calves hurts when I run. Does anyone have any ideas what this is and how to stop it?

Welcome to the forum and well done on your progress.

This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

and includes advice on pacing, minimising impact, stretching after every run and strengthening exercises, all of which will help.

Your body is not yet used to the exertions you are subjecting it to, so be kind to yourself, take it easy and always stretch.

Enjoy your journey.
