Calf pain at the start of running sports, what's wrong?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Muscle tightness: It sounds like you have some tightness in your calf muscle. I would suggest 5-7 minutes of easy jogging followed by stretching the affected area prior to running at a faster pace. If you try to run before stretching you might tear part of the muscle.
