yeah my calves used to burn out really fast. i started adding calf exercises and stretches to my workouts. i was told that its from forefoot striking and that its normal. they said that peoples calves tend to be weak at first and that i needed to start out slow to avoid injury. it took a couple of weeks to get used to it and get the strength up and i can go a lot further.

thats jsut my experience though maybe you should talk to a trainer or doctor to make sure something isn't wrong.
