Hi Docs
You have all heard this story before I'm new to barefoot running, I regularly ran 8km every second day and thought I'd try BF/Minimalist. I brought myself a pair of Vivobarefoots and went out for a 5k run no issue. I went out and tried the following day and at the 3k mark re injuerd an old calf strain. I rested the calf for 4 days tried to run again and had to stop due the pain in my left calf. I then rested my calf for 5 days and went out this morning and had the same result stopped due to a calf tare or strain this is becoming very frustrasting. How long do I have to rest the calf for?
Cheers
Anthony
