Went after work and only a mile in my calf is tight and sore. I tore the soleus in the other fucker 4 years ago so dont want a repeat of that. Anyone got top tips for a sore calf?

keep legs straight and elevated with ice packs/frozen peas on the shins. And do some light jogs. Worked for me.
thanks BH

I’d issue with masks look at the running masks on amazon

Thanks mate. I was hoping to do it this year but certain things pout paid to it so hopefully I can get a couple of weeks unpaid next year to add to my leave.
What did you do?

No worries... I’d get used to carrying the kit you’re taking as soon as you can. You can ditch half the stuff then that you’re never going to need lol
See, it's that kind of advice!! :)
Cheers.

I rested for 4 weeks but yesterday decided to get out and test it, felt reasonably okay, the pain was there but really mild. woke up today and its sore. icing, foam rolling, stretching, tens machine, just trying everything I can.Went after work and only a mile in my calf is tight and sore.

Today is the day I tried running with one. It’s 37 degrees in the shade. 45+ in the sun. Hard enough without a mask on.

Put it down to muscle gain mate, it’s what I tell myself.....
Hopefully - either that or I didn’t have a big enough dump before the weigh-in ;)
To be honest, I think doing next to nothing in the preceding 3 days wiped out most of the good work of the previous 4. Anyway, been back on it every day since Monday and doing the same routine of 3 stints per day on the treadmill, running the equivalent of around a 10k each day. I’ve sacked off doing one of the preset programs as the one I tried the other day wiped me out before I got half way through so it’s just 3 straightforward running stints. Happy to report I’ve lost a few pounds since Monday morning.
Interesting to read some of the experienced runners on here have days where they just can’t get going. I thought it would only be lazy fuckers like me who would have that issue.
