Tight calves?

Although running has it's perks, there are downsides to it, and one happens to be tight calves. One thing that definitely helped me was to invest into better running shoes, and I suggest getting new balances or acis. They have a better way of making your feet feel comfortable as if you were running on clouds. Also not to mention stretching frequently, some useful calf stretches are the standing bent over calf stretch, calf raises, and the downward facing dog.
