as some of you will know, im hoping to do my first triathlon next season after years of running and have been training hard on the bike, which i absolutely love, however, when i run now im getting calf trouble feels like a strain on the outside edge of the muscle. This happens in both legs and is bad enough to make me stop. im wondering if it could be that im doing loads of bike work and not much running these days and maybe my legs are adjusting to the different 'work-load'.......any thoughts?

Hi,
Have you tried medical grade compression socks? I started wearing them when I started getting cramps in my calf muscles during runs and they really helped. They increase the blood flow in the lower leg which helps flush out the area of lactic acid etc. I would reccomend the compression advisory, they also have a medical advisor there who I spoke to at length about my problem and was really helpful.

Hope it helps!
Eurozone crisis - try compression socks !
Iran developing nuclear weapons - here try some elastic round your legs...
I don't think its the cycling that's doing it - but it could be the lack of running ? Have you cut back lots - and are you running quite hard ?
ha yes compression solves it all!
just pleased i found something that worked so thought i'd share!
