Training Plans & Runs | 45 Mins Easy

Test out the calf. Fingers crossed it’s ok. If there is some initial pain I would suggest don’t stop straight away as sometimes it can loosen up. I’ve had some niggles in the past which can really hurt for 5-10 mins at the start of a run, but once they loosen up, the running can actually help. Obviously if it gets progressive worse over the first 10 mins then stop.

Morning. Done – super easy. Calf stood up but was sore and needed stretching at the end. As a preventative measure, I didn’t push off, I did pigeon steps to get me going and the calf coped with that. Strava says I was active for 55 mins but that included a couple of mini calf massages and some map reading, so was more like 45. Nice route, bit of sun protection and then had a tail wind on the way back. If the calf keeps on okay, I might do the wed evening HR run with the easy group.

Glad you managed to get out there and get some miles in, but does sound like you need to keep it a little easy for now. See how you feel Wednesday, but fingers crossed enough rest between now and then will allow you to run Bewl. You might also be wise to leave out any S&C exercises which overload the calf, just to be safe.
