Quick question for the runners on the board.
I'm doing the St. Jude 10K tomorrow. I ran about 5 miles on Monday and just a couple easy runs on Tuesday and Wednesday (I normally schedule 5 runs a week, but only a couple of longer ones... the rest are just like 2 mile jogs at a very easy pace). Yesterday morning and this morning, I just got out and went for a walk - just under 3 miles yesterday and a bit under 2 miles this morning.
Mid-way through my walk this morning, I started noticing some tenderness/mild soreness in my left calf. What's the best method to nip this in the bud so that it doesn't possibly affect me tomorrow?
This is only my second ever organized race (the previous was the Cooper-Young 4 miler earlier this year), so I'm trying to get a feel for things... normally, if I wake up and have some soreness, I just don't run but can't really do that on race day.
