Hi, I recently started running because I joined the military and I have to run 1.5 miles in under 10 minutes before I leave. I have been running for two weeks around a track. I don't have much problem with the physical exertion, but I get a recurring cramp in my right calf (just that one) and today in the joint between my leg and my foot (for a lack of better terms.)
I have watched some videos on Youtube about proper form and warming up. I don't know if I should keep stretching beforehand or not - the debate is little over my head. I don't know if some better stretches will help my calf and the joints in my feet? I do know that I probably shouldn't run tomorrow. I would most greatly appreciate any speculation or general advice about my problem. Thanks.
