Well done on getting started. Did you stretch after your run? If you didn't you might find that a good little stretching routine after your runs will do you the world of good.

I agree, have a good stretch when you get back and the calves will ease. Took me a good few weeks before mine were okay after a run but they are fine now.
Not what you're looking for?
