Tightness in back of calf

[Fitat54]

Just completed week 4. I have managed the runs but am running embassingly slow. I don’t really catch up with walkers.

I seem to get tightness in the back of my calves when I’m running, like the muscle is knotted. Any ideas to how I can overcome this?

Well done.

The guide to the plan includes advice on minimising impact, stretching after every run, hydration and strengthening exercises, all of which will help.
