Good afternoon.
Why do I feel calf pain every time when I run but the pain disappears after running-specific exercises?

Greetings!
I think you mean so called periosteum (front part of a cannon-bone). It is a very common complaint among the runners. The nature of pain origin is different ranging from hard surface and bad shoes to a change of movement pattern (running technique).
To remove pain you can use compresses containing anti-inflammatory agents but the result is not always as expected. So, if the pain disappears after warming up, just consider the pain as inevitable costs of running training.
Good afternoon.
Please, give me some recommendations how to protect yourself from injury and extend your sport career? Of course, I understand the importance of proper warming up and adequate load.
But may be there are some tips or secrets based on your personal experience.
Thank you in advance.
Good afternoon.
When I run, my leg moves along an arc-shape trajectory and my knees sometimes rub together.
Is that OK? How could I change it?
