Warm up:- A few arm swings and some k’star over-n-unders.
100501 Run 5k
I knew there was no way I could do 5k but I thought I would see what I could do so I choose to do some laps round the water tower near by - approx 345meters.
I ran the first lap and got a bad stitch about 3/4 way round - what causes those exactly?? - EDIT I googled this and found the answer to the stich question.
Then I walked the next lap, then walked / ran the next 2 for a total of about 1380 meters.
Lap 1 - 2.58
Lap 2 - 3.56
Lap 3 - 2.50
Lap 4 - 3.04
Total 12.50 mins
When I had finished my right calf tightened up and I thought it was just a cramp at first but it just stayed tight, I stretched out but it didn’t get any better. It actually felt like it was too big for the skin (incredible hulk style) - I know that sounds odd but my calf felt so hard and big and very uncomfortable - anyone know what causes it? - It lasted about 15 mins
The runs with rest I did during the last months or so didn’t casue either - I assume it was the continousness of today?
It’s the first time I’ve ran that far since high school but never had a feeling like this. The left calf had it mildly but the right was much worse - I had a recovery shake incase I was lacking something but I’m curious to know if anyone knows why or what it was I was suffering from earlier?
