Re-joined gym on Monday
Calf was pulled about 20 minutes later ... RECORD!
I warmed up on bike, stretched, did some slow stuff on treadmill (including trying out the 15% incline - crazy!) and then did 12 x 30 second intervals at 13.5kph. On about the 5th interval during the REST period of the slowest jog in the world the calf tightened up and got ready to go ping. Fortunately I jumped off the treadmill before it did and got my @r$e out of the gym!
Bit of massage, ibuprofen and calf sleeve have helped and it doesn't feel too bad. Tonight was bike intervals and I got through them with no problem (or feeling from the calf) with the 2nd highest average speed for the intervals this year. Not sure if I'll jog lightly tomorrow or bike again. Will see how the calf feels. A medicinal walk:jog might be good for the calf. Nothing too fast.
Second night of the weight loss challenge. Last week was 93.9kg. Tonight 92.1kg. Happy enough with that. Got to do better than that next week though to win the thing. I'm eating healthy enough but need to work on portion control. Aim is to go under 90kg next week.
