Why does my calf hurt terribly when I keep running every day? Can you elaborate on it?

People who don't exercise at all suddenly take part in running, which will temporarily make the calf muscles unable to adapt, leading to calf pain.

2. No warm-up exercise

Without warm-up exercise before running, the muscles, joints, ligaments and other parts of the calf will not be exercised, and entering high-intensity running exercise will easily lead to calf muscle strain and calf pain.

3. Excessive exercise intensity

Excessive running intensity may lead to insufficient blood supply to the legs during exercise. In the case of ischemia, metabolites can't be removed and accumulate in muscles, which will stimulate pain receptors and lead to acute muscle pain in the calf during running. Generally speaking, this situation can be recovered after a short rest after running; In addition, if the running intensity is too high and the amount of exercise exceeds the physical load, it will easily lead to muscle strain in the calf and other parts, which will also lead to calf pain.

4. Wrong running posture

Some people like to follow the ground with their feet when running, but if they follow the ground with their feet, they will mobilize tibialis anterior to participate in sports, which will make tibialis anterior contract too much and lead to tibialis anterior's pain, which is tibialis anterior's pain when running. When running, it is best to land on the whole foot or in the middle of the foot, which can reduce this kind of sports injury.

5. Running shoes are not suitable

When running, if you wear slippers, sandals, high heels or leather shoes, it will have a great impact on the joints, muscles and ligaments of your legs. If the hard cement with poor elasticity is also used in the running part, it is easy to damage the calf muscles and ligaments due to strong impact, resulting in pain.

6. Running does not follow the principle of gradual progress.

In the process of running, increasing the amount of exercise does not follow the principle of gradual progress, but immediately increases the amount of exercise, which will make the calf muscles in a state of tension for a long time, and the calf muscles are constantly involved, leading to tearing injury of the tibia and fibula periosteum, expansion of periosteum and periosteum vessels, congestion, edema or bleeding, periosteum hyperplasia, and finally leg pain.

7. Don't stretch

After normal exercise, the muscles will be tense to some extent. Muscles should stretch after exercise. Stretching is also a kind of exercise, which can make muscles and joints softer and reduce the possibility of pain and injury.

8. Other reasons

The ground environment, running shoes and clothes worn during running will all affect running. It is recommended to choose a special runway, comfortable running shoes and clothes with good ductility.
