Reason For Calf Muscle To Become Sore?
My calve muscles become sore when I m riding my bike. It happens especially when I ride slowly but not as much when I ride fast. My quads, glutes, hamstrings don t hurt at all. I have to stretch them out every few minutes to relieve the pain. I ve been cycling for a few months now and typically cycle 80-100kms.

Dear User, the cause of sore in calf muscle id due to an eccentric contraction happens when a muscle is slowing down a stronger load in the opposite direction of the way it contracts—the “down” .
You can Try some eccentric calf exercises off of a stair can also bolster your calf strength during wintertime when you can’t get outside to do some strides or jogging in spikes.
