Race didn't go well.
I popped a calf at the half way point (the one that had been sore) - It had felt fine, no tightness at all - the race went onto bumpy rock hard farm field tracks and it went whilst running through that.
Here are the splits up to when I stopped - lungs and legs (calf aside) felt fine - TheEd, would you say that HR is slightly high though?
[URL="https://www.strava.com/activities/1616172883/overview"]1KM - 4.40 - 149bpm
2KM - 5.02 - 162bpm
3KM - 5.04 - 167bpm
4KM - 5.01 - 172bpm
5KM - 5.08 - 175bpm

Anyway - its going to be one of those that I need to let heal before I run on it again, otherwise I'll just keep popping it.
Any advice appreciated, but will look to RICE for a few days, and then either see a physio or start some stretching/massage.
Cheers
