I know really random, and might be a dumb question, but....I went to the gym yesterday and did the calf machine but didnt do much cardio so i really wanna jog today...do you think it's a bad idea to jog on super sore calves?

    Give it a try, and if it becomes unbearably painful, switch to walking/ take a break?

    I generally take a break and do an upper body strength workout to give myself a day to recover. You don't want to overstress or over train your calves. I pulled one of mine not being warmed up enough before stretching and it took 6 weeks of nothing to heal, not worth the injury IMO.

    In this situation, yes.
