Burning calfs?

W5 R1-new sensation of burning calfs during and post jog. Completed warm up and down and always stretch afterwards (mainly because I think that if I stretch them it will make the muscles longer and not bigger-as I have very large calfs!!) Anything I should be correcting?

Could just be the build up of all your running. Make sure you take your rest days. The c25k website has some good stretches

Thanks, will try today. I must have had a burst of energy as I also did a small session of HiiT in the afternoon, that's when I really noticed the burn! Enjoying being back on the programme and the extra energy.
