My commuto-packing is going alright - bag issues all sorted and enjoying the opportunity to spend some time in this lovely weather - but my calves are giving me a bit of gyp. I think this might be related to running up steep hills but not sure.

Is sticking to the flats likely to help? I sort of went straight in with 5-10km runs and 100m of ascent - should I decrease the ascent and build it back up over time?

I've had something similar in the past, which I think was brought on by a 22 mile run with a change of clothes and shoes in a bag.

I ended up injured.

Might be an idea to see if you can limit what you carry if possible? Or rest for a bit

I'm pretty sure I'm not doing too much distance - just 7ish km less than once a week. I will try to bring my clothes/stuff in the day before instead then and see if that helps at all. And have some time off.
