Have you considered a medical opinion?
Likely a calf strain or tendonitis, RICE or PRICE whichever is more favoured these days
Rest ... limping home is not a sign to go out and try it again !!
hi yeah when i got home i done rice and that helped abit soar next day or to but then if i go again it might do it it might not im not sure what the gp could do they are abit useless round my way?
It could be your doing too much to soon! Another factor to consider is your shoes. I had simlar problems and ended having prescribed orthotics made for me. I now rarely get problems.
You will need to get your legs used to the new regime and muscles need to re-shape!!
