Please help! Calf and shin pain while running :-(
To
quit
smoking
too so absolutely loving the couch to 5k plan. Since I started I have had calf and shin pain. I presumed it was down to my poor fitness but I have had to stick to week 2 runs for an extra 2 times as I keep having to stop due to severe pain.

Messed up... back at it!
I eventually ended up
smoking
again and stopped running... and now I've
quit
smoking
again and beginning running all over. At least this time I know what I'm in for! Starts today over the lunch hours.

Anxious and backpain
I have this back pain after I
quit
smoking
for 9 days. Is this normal? I'm overthinking things. It makes me anxious and scared. Because of the happenings these days. Especially we have this pandemic happening.

Recent ex-smoker, first time poster
I’ve gained a significant amount of weight since I started trying to
quit
smoking
. It makes me feel miserable, and I’ve had weight issues and disordered eating in the past.

Calf muscle cramps?
I started C25k the week after I
quit
smoking
. I’m now W2R2. My biggest problem is not shortage of breath but severe calf cramps - I can just about manage 60s but I can’t repeat the 90s runs in full after the first interval. I realise this must be from clogged arteries from smoking.

5k done
G’Day All, I’m 45 ish, October I
quit

smoking
and started training 5-7 days a week then changed diet then tore a calf muscle, when that calf repaired I tore the other one. I have no one in my life which is ok but I don’t even have a goldfish as I work away so I do a bunch on my own.

Shortness of breathe
I
quit
smoking
36 days ago after smoking for over 40 years. One of the best thing I've ever done However, I find myself short of breathe even more now than when I was smoking. Is this normal ?

Disturbed sleep - pregnancy or stress?
I’m doing all of the ‘right’ things - I’ve
quit
smoking
, I’m taking folic acid and iron supps (vegan diet so iron levels are slightly lower). I’m really excited, but since I found out my sleep is awful!

Quit smoking
Does anyone find nicotine patches useful? If so to what extent? And do they compensate for the desire of the harshness of the cigarette.
