Calf pain!

I've started running three times a week for twenty minutes each. I do three minutes jogging, two minutes walking. I've never actually jogged before so I am completely new to this...But is it normal to experience calf pain while you are jogging?

Is the calf pain feel like cramps? Because in a lot of cases, calf cramps are an indication of dehydration. You'll want to be hydrating thoroughly before and during a run.
If the calf pain is not like cramps, then I'm not sure what it could be. Maybe try and do some warmups, rubbing, gentle stretching, or foam rolling beforehand?0 -

You could have a wrong form.
Make sure when you run it's your midfoot hitting the pavement, not the heel or the ball of your foot.0 -
Are you warming up properly before you start off?0
