The passage of time... lol. Sorry, I don't think there's another way. The more you work out, the better it will get.

Following vigorous high tension exercise, you will have structural damage to the tissue. Which is what happens to calves. Your calves work constantly all day long for walking, standing, and squating, they are used so much that you don't really have a chance for them to repair, on top of that, they aren't used to high tension activities such as stair climbing or snowboarding. ( I snowboard too, so yeah, long toe sides are killer on calves). There are currently 2 theories behind post exercise muscle pain. One is that you have a build up of metabolic waste in your muscles that cause pain following a workout, the other is that you created significant microscopic tears in your muscles. If I am sore following a workout, I perform the remedy for both. Get something like a rolling pin or a baseball bat, a cylinder, roll it up and down your calf muscle following a warm/hot bath. This causes the built up lactic acid to disperse as well as any latent blood flow. The following day if it is still sore, do some light exercises that target the muscle. The increased blood flow will significantly aid in the rebuilding of the muscle. Light stretching can help, but don't over stretch, it can be harmful to your connective tissue.
