  • I had the same issue when I started the run / walk thing. I talked to the trainer at work and he nailed it. The calf muscle is in his words "clogged and tight" he showed me different stretching techniques that I do before every walk and I am happy to say they are pain free at 6 miles. Keep up the good work

  • I agree a weeks trime is not enough to gauge how your body will respond. I have been active with (run, Walk) and using map my fitness which seems to be a bit more accurate with the calorie count.
