It takes a long time for tissues to get strong enough to run a lot. Your cardio will improve by leaps and bounds in the beginning leading us to believe we can increase mileage and speed, but it's a trick. I fall for it every time. I don't run a lot in the winter and summer, because I can't stand extreme temperatures, but I almost always start overdoing it in the fall and spring after my heart seems to get back in shape in a couple of weeks. Pull back on the reigns. It is never really necessary to run everyday. Some people do it, but it doesn't necessarily have a fitness advantage. Giving your body time to recover and start fresh is the best thing for you. If you feel you need to exercise everyday, hop on an elliptical or something that doesn't pound your body as much as running. You will feel stronger and happier the next time you run, when your calves aren't sore.
