Just a general thread about running. How's your running going? What are you training for? Did you get new shoes? Sporting an injury etc....

I am over 50 and getting back into running after a few years of not. My calves are so tight during after just a few minutes. When I stop, they are back to normal after an hour or so and not sore the next day.

I'm doing my best to avoid injury, and so I've been hesitant to run through it. Maybe I should?

On the plus side, I'm getting the need to run jitters when it's been than a day since the last run. So that's been nice to rediscover!

Calf stretches helped me a lot. Not just before a run but anytime throughout the day- put a daily reminder to stretch on your phone.
