Calf Muscle - Stiffness in calf muscle after running for long distance
I ran for a long distance and developed stiffness in my calf muscles. I have tried stretching out and hydrating myself. Also I'm giving proper rest to my body. Now the stiffness is easing out a bit.
My question is, what regime or precautions should I follow so that I should not develop any more stiffness in my calf muscles? Would running again for short distance after 2-3 days will ease out the stiffness, as if I'm getting used to it?
And what normally is the recovery time?

It doesn't sound like you're necessarily injured per se, but that you've definitely overdone your training.
As stated in answers and comments to your other question, back off the distance, speed, or both for a bit. Your body needs time to adapt.
