Atypical CECS?

Hi everyone, here's what I'm experiencing:

  • 60 yrs old
  • Cyclist for 35 years, switched exclusively to running a few months ago
  • 12-15 miles weekly, 3-4 runs a week
  • On the day *after* a long tempo or threshold run with hills, I get intense pain in the posterior right calf. Nothing on the left. Has happened half a dozen times, and within 5 minutes of getting up in the morning
  • Pain does not happen during the run
  • The pain level seems to be diminishing, but this morning's episode lasted a few hours before fading
  • I never had this happen during the years I cycled, or the brief breaks I took in the past to run instead of ride

Does this sound like CECS to you?
