  • Injury advice. Started running recently, doing the Nike Run Club half-marathon plan, running 3/week (intervals, recovery, long.) Ran a first 15k last Friday, maybe a bit fast but feeling good. Then last Monday after 10min comfortable running my left calf starts to hurt, gradually but fast. Tried running slower but had to stop and was hurting when walking back home. Didn’t run for 5 days, did gentle stretches and standing calf raises. Almost a week later, I still feel my calf when regular walking. Should I rest more or go back to running? Anything else to help with this?

  • thnx, also @TW - was working on lower leg strength already and will look into these exercises. A very gentle 4k run yesterday was ok, tho def not back to normal. I want to make sure i’m not compensating for this in a way which will mess things down the line.
