@danio2401 Its because now your calves are absorbing the chock that previously went straight up your knees, hip and back. Try running shorter distances more often, and like danio said, make sure you land on the ball of the foot and not on your toes.

no, but its the last thing to touch the ground. this dissolves all the impact from running into your calves and keeps everything above the knees safe.
-
Are sore calves normal when a runner is new to the pose technique, or are they a sign that the technique is being done incorrectly?
-
excessive impact to the ground with the heel will cause your running mechanics to form a collapsing motion
-
So pretty much your heels never come in contact with the ground?

@danio2401 beginners tend to run on toes thinking it's same as BOF. Keep in mind - correct ball of foot landing includes landing with bent knee, landing under your body and allowing the heel to "kiss" the ground while keeping your bodyweight over your BOF.

sore calves are a sign of an adaptation period that normally lasts 1-3 weeks. However, you can help yourself by jumping rope, this exercise is really good for your feet and legs and your body in general and will help your transition to better running. Remember, balls of your feet are not your toes.
