Feeling it in my calves/shins not my quads and glutes.
[Edit to say thanks to everyone for reassurance and good advice which I’ll follow. Happy running everyone.]
Sorry if it’s not ok to ask beginner questions here - please skip/delete.
I’m getting back into running after a long time. Ran in my youth and now firmly in midlife.
It’s been humbling. I don’t seem to remember feeling it so much in my calves/shins as opposed to my quads/glutes.
Granted my efforts as super beginner. I’m back in run/walk and firmly in tortoise mode. My shoes are fine. Surely my form can’t have slipped that much. Although perhaps but I’m trying. I wonder is it because I just have to get used to things again, build up the endurance or do I need to really zone in on form (get someone to video me). I’m striking mid foot. My knees aren’t coming as high as if I was at full stretch but still. Leaning from ankles (as far as it feels).
Has anyone got any advice? Even if it’s just toughen up 😉
Thank you.
