The last time I started up CFE, I had two calf strains in the first two months - part of it was the speed, part also was that I was mixing in some barefoot/minimalist and wasn't quite strong enough. This time around, I'm taking it a bit slower, hence today's row.
And Merrill, do these. They'll help: http://www.mobilitywod.com/2011/03/episode-194365-why-do-you-hate-your-calfs.html
The CFE time trial today was a 10K run, but because I'm building up distance to take it easy on my calves (and I do have a sore, though uninjured calf right now), I decided to do the Row option, which was 5K.
mywrite: 5K row in 20:14.
Knocked 10 seconds off my time from a few weeks ago. Held 2 minute/500M pace for 2000M, then had to back off to 2:08-ish for the next 2000M. Final 1000M in 3:50, last 500 right around 1:50. Felt MUCH worse than I remember from the 20:25.
