Could be tight calf muscles believe it or not! Stretch after each run by doing the stair rise/drop exercise (see Mrs Google). Also, invest in a foam roller

But well done on the run anyway 🙂

Use the foam roller on your calves 🙂

And roll a golf ball or small bottle of frozen water under your foot.
