part of it might be that you are working out your calf muscles too much when you run. This effectively pulls more on the muscles in the front of your lower leg. You can strengthen those muscles by doing toe lifts with weights...

Im no physical therapist, but its usually an opposing muscle that causes the strain and eventually the pain... For me, I have tight hamstrings and upper abs... The combination of those two pull my back muscles in two different directions, giving me back pains... So I strengthen the back muscles, and stretch the abs and hamstrings. This works for me so far...
