Massage and roller too....if needs be.. probably tight knotted bits.... really loosen those calf muscles up...if in any doubt, take another rest day... I am a bit wary about calf twinges.. ( as you know..)

I'm no expert so don't know but I'm sure any extra day or two won't scupper anything for you. I do know from experience that exercising when tight can lead to injuries. You sound like you won't need any motivation to get back on track again once the tightness has done one:)!!!
