Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below I hurt / pulled my calf muscle on June 8th during my second interval sprint of 30 seconds. Anyway I gave it nothing but stretching and rest until today. I bought some brand new running shoes some New Balance 1122's for my flat feet and hope to be ready to go here in another hour. I plan to stretch like crazy before starting I just hope that it doesn't tear again.
First HIIT session in a week and a half since calf injury, wish me luck..

do a dynamic warmup, then a little stretching, and then your sprints, wait a few hours before lifting, good luck!
Shit I hurt my right calf this time. My first session after the injury was great then I went the very next day and it again felt great and I was stronger and better in the sprints but on the last one I pulled my right calf this time. Why is this happening? Am I not getting enough nutrients to the muscles down there. Is it my low carbs that are causing this? I stretch a ton and after my warm-up five minute run I stretch everything again before beginning the sprints.

Not related to your calf injury, but don't bother to stretch much before your warmup jog. Just do minimal stretching, then warmup, then stretch. You can't really stretch well until you get the blood flowing through your muscles.
Stretching after your workout is more beneficial than before, according to the latest thoughts. Some people even think stretching before is a waste of time, but I definitely think it's necessary, especially for running.

look up doing a dynamic warmup, its a serious of short activities that get blood flowing and muscled loosened up. We did this everyday before football, and no one ever pulled a muscle. Plus its a good way to get pumpde up before your run. Ill try to remember everything we did

there were some others, it was a ten minute warmup with 5 groups going one after the other in each exercise, to gie you a time frame.
