Hey everyone. So I did Week 4 Run 1 Yesterday and I found it so so difficult that I had to stop running during the Second 5 minute run, the pain in my calves was unbelievable. Any hints or tips to help with this pain or any suggestions to do that last 5 minute run?

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