First, you should stop or at least ease up on the running to give yourself time to heal. Second, work on your calves and ankle flexibility. Downward dog is a great calf stretch, try to keep your heels on the floor during the stretch. It may take some time to get there if you’re not very flexible. Third, if the pain doesn’t go away then you should see a professional to make sure you don’t have a stress fracture.

Don’t mix the vinegar and baking soda, they just react with each other and cancel out (acid + base do that). I do a cycle with vinegar, the do another cycle with baking soda + detergent, and it works pretty well.

Any new activity is going to cause your body to react. Eventually you’ll find recovery is easier and takes less time as your body adapts. In the meatime look into foam rolling, stretching/yoga, and a massage gun if you have one.

I think you’ll be fine. Put whatever is more important to you first. If you’re trying to improve your lifts then do that first. If you’re chasing a running time then do that one first. Your other activity will suffer a bit though.

Try something different. Take a cardio boxing class, or try a group run and meet some new people. Just getting out of your routine for a day can be enough to get out of that rut.

I use Jefit to track my gym workouts. The app is pretty good, and free. The website is a little clunky but it does have all the features of the app. For macro tracking I use Cronometer, I cook a lot of my own mealprep meals and it’s easy to add a custom recipe and just set how many servings it makes and let it figure out the nutrition data.

On one hand, I would love to have a job where I’m more active. But on the other hand, I don’t want a manual labor job that’s going to break my body or impact my training. It would be nice to have the best of both worlds.

You can use resistance bands or chains to add even more weight to your dumbbells!

You can look into some performance goals. Do you want to train for a marathon or Ironman? Do you want to compete in powerlifting? Or maybe take up a team sport? These can all give you goals and targets to keep you moving.

Same. The later it gets, the less likely I am to go so I just get up and go first thing. It’s amazing how fast you can break the gym habit if its not part of your daily routine.

If you’re training for a distance race (5k or more) and not a sprint, then the best thing is to run a lot of kilometers. And the best way to do that without injury is to run slow. So it may sound strange but you learn to race fast by running slow, but running a lot.
