What a turkey I am. I pulled a muscle three weeks ago, rested for a couple of days then went out running and guess what...
Having rested properly now, iced it, etc etc, (although been working out on cross trainers more recently) I'm still a little bit concerned about going running again.
Is four weeks in total enough? My calf just doesn't 'feel' right. Though this could be just mental.
My particular concern is that if I do go out and injure it again it will really impact my preparations for the FLM (and as a beginner I need all the help I can get)
What I am considering doing is starting again very slowly, on treadmills for safety, and possibly going to a physio before anything happens to check it out.
Any other ideas?

This is a regular theme over the last few weeks. I did the same and kept trying to come back after 2 days. Eventually rested it for 5 days and came back gradually.
Also had an aromatherapy massage, which helped a lot and did a PB 2 weeks later. So take it steady, but you'll be OK. Good luck
Good luck.
new research shows that more muscle injuries are caused by incorrect stretching than are prevented. Don't over stretch and only stretch after excercse.
