Hello all, I've recently started running again after a while out of it. Built up to three 5k runs in the week and an 8k on a sunday. All going really well until I started getting a really tight right calf muscle afterwards.
Have been warming up/warming down/stretching etc but it didn't seem to ease it and now the pain is really bad - no longer feels tight exactly but I get really bad pain in my calf when i 'roll' my foot from heel to toe. Doesn't seem to fit the description of a tear, gets worse overnight and then eases off a bit during the day. Have a doctor's appointment booked for a week's time (soonest they could fit me) but would prefer to be able to stretch it/fix it myself as it feels like a bit of a waste of their time! Any suggestions as to what it is and how to ease it would be great :) Ta in advance x
