Hey, all looking for some insight, when i go for a walk when i power or walk fast and incline, i have issues with just my right leg and calf it get really tight and aches muscles under 10 minutes in and its only my right leg! yes i am very un fit but why just the one leg? and ideas please to help prevent, maybe when i get fitter this will just stop? went to London last year and as the day went on it did stop so i am thinking its my level of unfitness but would like some insight if anyone has any please?

    You may have something out of balance in your musculoskeletal system.

    Are you doing 5-10 minutes of stretching before you workout? How about after? Yoga would help too.

    I am experiancing this exact issue on and off since November 2023. Have an ultrasound scheduled for next week and hopefully they can find the issue. Extremely aggravating to say the least. It was feeling better, and I did 30min on the stair master now I'm back to square one! ugggg!

    I am going to focus on strengthening it and hopefully that will take care of it.
