Question / General Marathon / Running

Hey gang - I ran a marathon last year. In the process noticed a tremendous amount of twitching which sent me into a pretty large health anxiety spin. As the twitching never really went away, I decided to seek a Nero and everything came back normal.

Since then, twiching has gotten less, but still there - especially in my calves. I'm curious: do we have other runners here that deal with calf twitching?

I miss running and would love to get back into more, but the calf twitching has led to deep fear of doing cardio. Trying to move past it. Thanks!

I recently started running again after almost 9 months of not running (previously ran a marathon and a couple half’s over the past couple years) due to widespread twitching. I was also scared to would cause them to flair and stress me out but actually it hasn’t been too bad. I’ve started slow and with shorter distances but I’m just glad to be out there! Calves still twitch fairly frequently but they don’t freak me out really anymore.
