I just started to jog on a treadmill and i have been experiencing heavy numbness like feeling in my left calf. is this normal?

Maybe benign: Depending on your age, this may be merely, leg length asymettry, deconditioning, or perhaps a muscular strain/sprain. In older pts, we might wonder about decreased blood flow, such as hardening of arteries, or neurogenic claudication associated with low back problems such as lumbar stenosis.
