Hi Flutegirl. It's annoying and I had similar problems with my right leg. I just rested for 2 days and get plenty of ice on it. When you run next time make sure you do the brisk walk and perhaps a couple of calf stretches before you start running. Well done for doing the c25k and keep going.

Hi based on your other post about having old trainers I suspect your foot is not landing well and this is causing biomechanical issues.

A bit of rest and some new shoes should sort you out.

Happy shopping :)
