This is known as shin splints.
What is happening as you are running is that the muscle is slowly coming loose from the bone. As such, the bone is getting miniscule fractures (nothing to be shitting your pants over, but it does add up)
This usually happens from improper running technique, or just running too long.
There was a warm up exercise that I was taught was supposed to help shin splints. But it's sort of hard to explain. Imagine a forward lunge (as if you were stretching your calf). Now "bounce" on the forward leg. Sort of forward and back movement. I don't know how effective that exercise is, as I hardly use it.
Oh, one last thing. If you have bad shin splints, stop running. If you keep running, the shin splints will turn into serious fractures.
