I've never worn them before, but I got a pair as a prize at a tri i recently raced. The pair I got were really thick, cotton material. I tried them and they felt good while running, but man were they hot! Does anyone have any recommendations for a thinner, cooler pair? Maybe made from lycra?

That was my experience with them too. I have thinner ones made by Skins. They felt good at first but then got really hot still. I saw several guys wearing calf sleeves and the new style of triathlon suits with sleeves at the desserts edge triathlon this summer where it was about 90 degrees and they looked like they were going to roast from the heat on the run. I use my calf sleeves after the race for recovery only now.

Deep calf pain can be a tricky problem to deal with, and it’s appropriate that you are paying attention to this pain before it becomes a more debilitating injury.

Calf pain can have multiple causes. In your case, the most likely cause seems to be from a calf muscle strain. If you have had Achilles problems you can be predisposed to a calf injury.

I'm experiencing tightness and pain in my calf muscles including my left achilles tendon. The tendons seem to really stiffen when sitting or sleeping. I'm not doing anything new.

I have a pain deep in my calf about five inches below the knee. A sports doctor did not feel anything wrong in the muscle, and there was no bruising. The tender spot can still be felt on massage.

I am training for my first IM and lately I have been getting cramps in my calves. I am a heavy salt sweater and I was wondering if that has anything to do with it?
