Considering the switch to tri

Hello all, a bit of background; Have been running for a couple of years and enjoy it. Initially started with the intention of doing tri, but enjoyed running and kept focussed on that for a while. Have done half marathons and looking to do a marathon in the near future - I'm in the shape for it.

 I was also thinking of bringing in the other events with a view to picking up the Tri. One concern I have though is that I tend to mid-foot strike whilst running, which when I started played havoc with my calves. (I switched to my own b*stardised blend of POSE, Chi and so on after doing a bit of reading, and settled into a style).

Is my running style going to clash with the muscles used on the bike? If I am using my calves more intensively than in another style of running, am I going to suffer an inordinate amount?

Thanks,

 WorriedEngineer.
