Why does the calf hurt after long-distance running?
This is mostly due to long-term inactivity, the muscles suddenly stretch a lot, and then produce a lot of acidic substances, which leads to leg pain. This kind of leg pain usually lasts for several days before it slowly disappears.

Suggestion:

1. Do warm-up exercises and stretch your bones and muscles before exercise. Do simple finishing exercises after running to avoid leg pain to some extent.

2. Applying a hot towel to the painful part of the leg can effectively relieve the pain of the leg. If it is a large area of pain, you can also consider taking a hot bath to promote blood circulation.

3. Pat and massage the legs to promote the discharge of lactic acid in the muscles, so that the legs will not hurt soon.

As long as you keep running and stretch your leg muscles every day, it won't hurt in the future.

5. If it is persistent pain or tearing pain, it is estimated that it is a muscle strain, so you should seek medical advice in time.
