Try increasing the potassium in your diet. Bananas are your friends. Potassium is necessary for proper functioning of your muscle tissue, and it's pretty common for the calf muscles to react to low potassium first. More water/electrolytes is always a good idea, of course.

Didja know that the calf muscle is called the gastrocnemius?
