From the moment I stopped running though I’ve had an unusual discomfort in my left lower leg. It’s a dull pain in my calf and maybe ankle, but mostly calf and mainly when I rotate my foot inwards, but also when I try to do a calf raise/stand on tiptoes. It almost feels like I’m weak/lacking stability on my left leg. It’s not shin splints, had a dose of that earlier this year and this is different. Does it sound familiar? Any speculation on what it could be?
Give these a go:

Building up to Dublin marathon on 29th October, had a 32km session yesterday made up of 20 min warm up, (20 min marathon pace, 5 min easy, 3x6min threshold pace with 5 min easy between each effort)x2, 20 min cool down, hilly course, average pace 4:52min/km. Felt comfortable throughout, and only in the last 3km or so did everything start to feel uncomfortable, but not to the point that I couldn’t continue. First time running more than 25km so I guess it’s normal enough. First time in carbon race shoes too (metaspeed sky+).
