When I wake up in the morning and stretch my legs(while still in bed I hasten to add) I get sudden and very sharp pain in either or both of my calf muscles. This does help me wake up quickly but isn't very pleasant. Any suggestions?
I run 25 - 30 miles per week, but never get cramp while running. I nearly always run in the evenings.

Does the cramp occur when you point your toes downwards or when you pull them up towards you?
It's when I do that first instinctive stretch out. I think I must be pulling them up towards me - a reaction to the tightness from running the night before.
It's probably harmless.
Would it change if it turns out I'm pointing my toes the other way?
"Probably harmless" is what I emphatically do NOT want carved on my gravestone.
