Only one calf "feels the burn?"

You have a muscular imbalance and are probably putting weight more on one leg than the other.
That's common when you have one foot/leg dominant.

So how would I go about fixing that?

>>41942919
Not the poster above, but it should go away as you keep doing your program. If it's an imbalance, it will fix itself after a bit. But that is assuming it's just an imbalance.

>>41942929
Is there a way to shift my gait to favor the other leg when it acts up?

>>41943116
Just run

>>41943116
Don't start running weird, then you'll develop bad habits and/or fuck up the other leg instead

So how do I deal with only one calf hurting while running?

>>41944538
punch the other one

>>41942532
kind of related, I've been running a lot of climbs lately, and my right Achilles/lower calf has been going numb recently with that needles feeling. It really only starts after the first 2000 ft though, so I think it's because I'm on my toes for so long at a time, plus imbalances so it's always my right.

How are you striking the ground? Are you doing a lot of hills? is it a numbing feeling like I described or a burn?

you're a ticking time bomb. look up embolism.

>How are you striking the ground?
Like I'm walking but a lot faster, I think I'm slamming down a lot on my heel as opposed to my Ball, which I still have no idea what the ball of my foot is.

>Are you doing a lot of hills?
None at all, all flatland running

>is it a numbing feeling like I described or a burn?
Tense and burning, like it needs to be stretched out or I started running without properly stretching, but stretching was included before starting running

>>41944667
Except when I'm on anything that is not running on flat ground and my feet stay in one spot, like an exercise bike or elliptical, I don't feel it at all. As I said, I took a break, hopped on an elliptical while everyone else was doing the lap so that I wasn't just standing around, and it all subsided

I'm pretty sure it's not embolism

ball of foot is pic related.

a few ideas to try:
when it hurts, stop for a moment, stretch, and see if that helps. If it does, it's probably just routine tightness. be sure to warm up properly and stretch more.
when you're running, think about the beat of your feet on the ground, and check if it is abnormal. It's possible you're putting more stress on one leg or the other, and your calf is taking the load
try strengthening. do 3 sets of 15 calf raises on each foot twice a week. you probably don't want to just do one or the other seeing as that could just reverse the problem. strengthening the other one can't hurt.

And the "embolism time bomb" guy?

Because I don't think this has anything to do with my pulse so much is that actually has to do with pressure. I do find myself feeling like I favor that foot

>>41944797
if you favor that foot, that's probably the reason. imbalances is a common reason for things being weird.

what I could find about embolism doesn't mention anything about exercise exacerbating symptoms

https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/001102.htm

It like an unlikely, complex explanation for simple symptoms.

I went from lazy fucker to 21km in 2 months with only help of /fit/

OP go see a doctor, you might have Chronic exertional compartment syndrome. Does the pain always begin after the same amount of time during exercising?
