Okay so I absolutely love going hiking, I'm a runner so I'm pretty fast and efficient. But my problem is, is that I enjoy going up and down the this huge mountain multiple times, and at times my calves get super tight and hurt. I stretch once my muscles warm up, but it still hurts. Once I'm done exercising I typically go home, stretch for about 1 hour, and afterwards my calves feel fine and don't hurt.
Why are my calves hurting so badly? Should I go hiking every other day to avoid this? Am I pushing myself too much?
I also take a break 1-2 days a week on the days I'm extremely sore.
