Wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar...I have a real pain in my right calf (side of leg) going from knee to ankle. It has been persistent since my run on Monday and yesterday on my rest day. 😩
Not sure what to do for my run today..should I not go? I have been doing the RICE and applied some pain relief muscle gel. Not sure what to do for the best?! I am on wk8
Thanks
Not wise to run while you have that pain on your right calf, give yourself a few extra days off running and hopefully the pain will heal.
Running through real pain is never a good idea. Keep doing what you have been with it, and if it doesn’t settle go get it checked out.
Be gentle with yourself.
Give yourself an extra couple of days. Get out in the sunshine. Walk don’t run. Your body will let you know when you’re ready.
Maybe some gentle stretching to help your calf repair.
I’m a total novice runner but am weirdly enjoying this challenge. Onto week 4 tomorrow. 🏃♀️
