I...You've both been very reassuring, thanks! I'll only start panicking about the training if I still can't run after a week or so. And I should give some thought to why I've suddenly started cramping up - my hamstring cramped on the last long run and now my calf. Dehydration is a likely culprit!Matchgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13285246781938171596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9214500962721172675.post-63331809032473105272013-01-25T18:10:45.026+00:002013-01-25T18:10:45.026+00:00I agree with Vee's advice.

In the greater scheme of things, missing one of these runs if you have to won't do any harm. Good luck! xCathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9214500962721172675.post-53696310031354199582013-01-25T17:09:49.739+00:002013-01-25T17:09:49.739+00:00I've never really had cramps in my legs, so it...I've never really had cramps in my legs, so it's reassuring to hear that the soreness can last for a while (not that I wish either of us sore & crampy legs, but it's better than torn muscles!).Matchgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13285246781938171596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9214500962721172675.post-78192234732494664472013-01-25T09:25:02.844+00:002013-01-25T09:25:02.844+00:00Phew!

Fyi... when I get cramp in my calf I can feel it for a good 48 hrs after. But of course this could just be me and my weird and wonderful leg.

I've mismanaged my calf issues so badly in the past that I don't trust myself on this one...xxMatchgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13285246781938171596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9214500962721172675.post-2936079644914045322013-01-25T07:54:41.054+00:002013-01-25T07:54:41.054+00:00Poor you!
My initial instinct was that it sounds ...Poor you! <br />My initial instinct was that it sounds remarkably like cramp... the residual feelings from the cramp I have sometimes lasts for a long time and I can feel it as a tightness. If, as you say, you could continue to exercise after stretching it doesn't sound too serious, but then what do I know? <br />I'd be inclined to go on a gentle run to stretch it out a bit and see how you go. Focus on the form of your running and being prepared to start s-l-o-w and (horror of horrors) turn back if need be and do more stretching. <br />Take care xx<br />Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00238357423586809504noreply@blogger.com
