Second time at running club, still slow but felt better than last week. But my calves are really tightening despite the stretching and warm up - didn't have this trouble when I started programme. Any useful tips gratefully received as it's frustrating me. They feel tight all the time not just when running but it worsens on the run.
Thanks

It sounds like your muscles are already very tight so you need to loosen them properly. You need to be stretching your calves regularly. Heel dips on the stairs is great!
A foam roller used regularly is really good too, lots of Youtube clips to tell you how to use it.
If in doubt see a sports physio to get a professional opinion and some manipulation.
