Looking for advice.

My leg workouts are only to
A. Run faster
B. Stave off Runner's Knee. I'm not out here to win a body-building competition.

But my calves are unnaturally sore for reasons I can't account for. I took calf raises out of the routine and it helped a little. But for days without a leg workout or run, they'll be sore. I assumed it was a stretching issue but that doesn't seem to help.

My current rotation is

Single-leg body squats
Glute Bridge
Hip Flexor (for the runner's knee)
and I'm thinking of adding lunges with dumbbells.

Anyone else have similar issues with calves?
