What Causes Popping Veins In Calves?

I ve been running 2.7 miles 3 to 4 times a week now for 6 or 7 months...i just noticed that my calves are starting to have veins poping out of them...no pain just veins. Kinda freaked me out because I ve never had that.should u get this checked out? Or could this be a natural occurrence??

Hi. I want to help u for ur health issues. Ther are two options 1.If veins are just straight in shape its normal & yes due to exercise and is good to go
2. But if veins are tortuous in shape then its Varicose Veins a disease of valve incompetency in legs.
I wil wait for details about shape of veins then I will suggest treatment plan best for u.
