    Stretch! Ice your calves before and after your workout. And buy a foam roller. :)

    Mine only hurt when I'm not running/walking. I am horrible about stretching and I know that's the issue.

    Stretching, stretching, stretching :)

    More stretches. Plank it out man. 30 second planks, try to do as many as you can before the run. After the run, split those puppies out and touch your toes, breath, relax, and hit the shower. Sit, meditate, cross- whatever feels best. My two cents at least.
