HI , Im hoping all you experienced runner can help me.
Ive started running, not far but i do the whole 'scout pace' thing or run / walk / run.
Problem is after a few minutes my calf muscle literally seize. They go rock solid and the outside of my leg from the ankle up becomes uncomfortable when i walk ????
The 1st time we went this didnt happen, but the 2nd & 3rd it has, this morning my calks still hurt a little.
Now ive invested in proper running shoes, so i am not looking for an excuse to give up. I do strech before we go running. I know im very overweight so i dont expect running to be easy.
Is this just something i have to run through and it will get easier? Is there a particular streach or exercise i can do to ease the pain?
I would really appreciate your advice and words of wisdom.
