Pulled calf muscle?

[MakeTeaNotWar]

I started the c25k about 6 ago now that DS is 7 months, I was doing great for 2 weeks then I guess pulled my calf muscle, very sore. So I haven't run since waiting for it to get better and it's still really sore! It seems to improve then I'll take a stair badly or something and it flares up again.

Anything I should be doing to help it heal? I was really enjoying getting back into running again, gutted its been so long again already.

I hurt my calf muscle a few weeks into c25k. Very sharp pain. Excruiciating going up stairs. Difficult to stand on my toes. I went to see a physio who said that if I left it for a couple of weeks it would be fine. It took about 6 or 7 weeks to be completely better. I now warm up more thoroughly before running. The physio also gave me some exercises to do but they were more linked to a long standing knee problem than anything to do with my calf.

I tore a calf muscle running. It took a good 8 weeks to heal and I had to have ultrasound treatment and massage from a sports physio.
