So disappointed I had to pull out of Parkrun this morning with cramp/injury . I was doing really well too. I couldn't decide whether it was cramp or not while running but couldn't stretch it out and it was just getting worse, so had to stop. Got home and put ice on it but it is still sore. Oh well first injury throughout all of C25k so haven't done too badly. Just hope it heals quickly.

May be disappointing but absolutely the right thing to do . (And the ice!)Fingers crossed for a quick recovery 🤞

Muscle cramps: If you're experiencing cramps or spasms in your legs or calves, this could be due to dehydration, poor stretching, inadequate carbohydrate intake or simply going too hard, too soon in a run.

Disappointing for you, but give it a little rest and some time off, and you will be back smashing that parkrun before you know it! 🙂

Rest, ice, and walk on it gently. Perhaps using a roller may help, too.

You did the right thing in stopping.
Had you warmed up fully?
We're you pushing harder than normal?
Were you fully hydrated?

To parkrun or not to parkrun?
