What should I do?
every time I run I get calf trouble. I thought it was the upper section of my Achilles' tendon but after a little research I think it might be the Soleus muscle. I am really enjoying my running at the moment and have decided to train for a half marathon but soon as I get past 3-4 miles my calf starts getting pain and that's me continuously getting pain every time I run unless I stop for a while but soon as hit the 3-4 mile distance the next time it happens again. What am I doing wrong and how can I prevent it?
i have tried physio in the past but the physio said physically there doesn't look like there is anything wrong and said it was more a conditioning issue and that I should do some heel dips on a step. Didn't really help
any help would be really appreciated

my problem seems to have come from having tight hip flexors. I have an office job and sitting all day is a common cause of tight hip flexors which can lead to calf and back problems. I have started regularly stretching my hips and have tried running again with no calf pain so fingers crossed I have found the problem
