I tried running on my treadmill at 10% incline for a few minutes yesterday and I could really feel it in my calves. I think I'll try to get some hills in once or twice a week and also get in a interval session once a week. Hopefully that will be enough to make the race not suck too hard. I hope you are getting a chance to get some regular biking in. @Nathan – thanks.

It hurts, but will build strength and train your body to deal with lactic acid.
