AM - 4 on the treadmill at 9.0 mph. calves felt a step or two away from straining something; i think that's partly on my legs always straining a little bit more on treadmills though. still, i will exercise caution with caution of exercise
AM2 - hour on the stationary + sauna. covered 17 miles in the hour at high resistance, felt like i loosened up my right calf which was giving me some pause for the AM double. probably moving back to just 60-70 minutes in the morning; i enjoy the extra mileage from the shakeout prior but with my timeframe to run the only options are treadmill or asphalt. I already knew my legs didn't hold up well under consistent treadmill running, but figured maybe my bias against hard surfaces was unjustified. nope! and i will now continue to avoid running on sidewalks and asphalt like the plague
