    Try something like Vibram FiveFingers. They are designed to promote a natural running stride without any padding or support. This will make your feet, ankles, and calves much stronger. Start slow and keep bumping up your distance as you get stronger.

    Re: inner calf pain

    Hi

    I've been having similar problems. I've been running for a few months now, doing a few 2.5m runs during the week and then a 5k race at the weekends. Since getting a proper pair of running shoes (stability running shoes as I overpronate) I've been noticing pain in my calves. It starts as soon as I start running and then becomes more dull as I run, sometimes coming back as I tire towards the end of my run. The pain seems to be in the medial aspect of each soleus. The pain actually gets better when I increase the pace at the end of the runs but I figure this may be due to me using my gastrocnemius muscles more.

    The pain isn't much more than an annoyance at the moment, but I just wanted to check that it should resolve without me resting it.
