pulling calf musclesI've been running since grade school. I love running, but I've taken a 7 year break from training. I decided to get back into it but everytime I run I pull a muscle in my calf (either leg). I've tried orthotics in my shoes and it still happens. I've tried new shoes. I'm 35 now. Pls help me. I don't know what to do and I love running.

Re: pulling calf musclesUnfortunately, your muscles are not as flexible as they used to be. The key to any workout routine is to stretch before and after exercising. You should probably stretch for about fifteen minutes before you start running; especially your calves. Also, you need to start slowly and gradually build up how far you run. A general rule is to only increase the length of your run by ten percent a week. Have a nice day and please write back if you have any further questions.
