The Sides of my calf muscles hurt, am I overdoing it?

Thanks for the input, I kind of guessed that would be the case, I knew i was over doing it but I have just got back into the swing of it.

I knew that when I was running 20 - 25 miles a week last year the back of my calves were hurting, I was over doing it.

I spoke to the GAIT people and they have suggested two pairs of trainers as the ones I am currently using are designed for running whereas doing circuit training etc., they do not have the relevant support?

Do I need two pairs or do you think they are just trying to get more money out of me!

i've never needed two different types of trainers. then i've never visited a gait lab either. sometimes you can overcomplicate things.

i have decent running shoes (a famous brand with a swoosh!) and i wear orthotics in them for slightly pronated feet. i also wear these playing basketball, in the gym. i certainly dont feel that i need a different pair for when im not running.
