I gave that a shot. Today I was at the gym and when I walked in they were already tight. I stretched for about 10 min, specifically calves and achilles. Ran for 5/8 before tightness got to be too bad. Walked off another 1/8 and then hit leg press, curls, and calves on the machines. Ran another 3/8 after. Still tight. So I bs'd with my bud and stretched alittle more, ran another 1/4 and wrapped it up. Was still rather tight after all was said and done. Thinking about getting a warming sleeve for the calves to keep them loose, but not convinced it would work. Just pissing me off!

Is it just your hammies / calves for example ?
Shins ?
Just calves. Hammies are good as are quads. Shins use to, until I did some stretches for the tendons in front / ankle. Can't seem to solve the problem with the calves though.

Here is my pre-run routine:
Sit in sauna 5 minutes (just to warm up in general, south dakota and all)
Walk between 1/2 mile and 1 mile (4.0mph), gets blood pumping into legs
Run
THEN stretch
I am a bigger guy who runs, so I have had just about every ankle/knee/muscle problem you can imagine.. this method helps me be loose and warm for the running.
SCTBack to the basics!

Well, tried various things and damn calves are still my nemesis! I walked, biked, jogged, jumped rope, used muscle rub, used heat, used a towel to stretch, and my damn calves still tighten badly at about the 1/2 mile mark to where I have to stop. Pissing me off, I'm not even winded but have to stop anyways. WTF!? That's it, severing the leg below the knee and I'll run with stumps!!!!!
