Everyday is overkill.
I don't think you need those super high reps with calves. Sure, they're your calves and so they're probably predominantly fast twitch fibers, but they're still muscles like the rest of your body. I wouldn't go higher than 20 normally, <15 being the standard.

Everyday is waaaaay too much. I appreciate the enthusiasm, but those types of sets are done a on once in a while basis. Usually I do 2 warmup sets and go very heavy on calves for 1 drop setx3 which includes seated and standing raises.
