Avoid hills??? The whole point of my training is to be able to run hills . . . I guess the answer is just dont train???. . . I dont think so. The real answer is to train smart and dont overdo it just like with any other sore muscle.

@@mutekn0wm0re82 But virtually everyone says static stretches are good. Jumping rope seemed to cure my achilles tendon pain (but who knows). I still have calf soreness but I never thought it was serious but it made me click the video. This is like the advice for plantar fasciitis. The advice is try EVERYTHING that ever seemed to work for anyone.

Great in depth video! I'd heard something that stuck with me a while back, about how people focus too much on the shoes they wear during training, and not enough on what they wear the rest of the time. It's hard to undo in a 60 minute training session what was done over 10+ hours in the high drop or heeled footwear many people wear daily.

My mind is blown. I had to put off today’s run because my calfs are still in bits from the weekend. Weirdly perfect timing! Any tips for getting round DOMS from S&C? I’m really keen to hit more weights but my recovery takes days and feels like I’ll injure myself if I run the following day.

I've experienced multiple calf issues over the last 8 years, since returning to running. I've always put it down to "old man's calves", I am 62 at the moment. I started a strength program earlier this year, which includes 2 workouts a week with calf raises, double legged with a tennis ball between my ankle and straight and bent leg single legged calf raises. I have built up to holding a 6kg weight in each hand for the double logged and the 6kg weight in the working side of the single legged versions. When I do these in the gym, I have 30kg on the machine for the double legged and 20kg for the single legged versions. I also do the eccentric version with hand weights on another day. I still have calf pain sometimes, but not often. Have you done or intend to make a video on quadricep pain, that is the most problematic issue I face these days. Thanks for the video.

After suffering from recurrent achilles and calf pain, discovered lowering the heel drop in my shoe. It changed foot strike, taking the stress off those areas. Zero pain since then. With that solved, i had a friend with the same problem, they did the same thing and has had no pain issues since. The take away here is that it can be just an equipment issue.

I'm interested in your thoughts on incorporating calf raises (straight leg and bent knee) in the strength component, or we should favor eccentric calf drops due to their focus on the achilles / calf at extension? Thanks for sharing your great insights through these videos.

I think both have their place! If you have issues with both, include both. If you're healthy and don't seem to have calf issues, you probably don't need to give them much extra attention.

Massage worked for me. My calves were very tight and massaging them was very painful but they became relaxed and the pain in my Achilles tendons disappeared almost completely.
