I know it sounds weird, but if you have tight calves, stretching your hamstrings works better than a roller or using all those crazy calf stretching gizmos.
Trust me!
Why did the music go on after the images? So you’ll be encouraged to relax, chill out. Never force stretching, though lengthening is a better term for what it is you’re trying to do.
You might want to check for tight hips, too, while you’re at it.
