Do you suffer from calf pain? Do you already do some of the exercises demonstrated in our routine?

I have torn my calf muscle 3 weeks ago in a tennis game. I was considering my legs and calf muscles were strong but it seems they were tired. It was my 4th consequtive training-match day and i am 43 yrs old. Prehab and resting are diamond. Thanks for the video, appreciated.

I agree with you about strength training being something many people overlook. A good video topic for you guys would be 10 minute strength routines you can add to your run. Ideally with little to no equipment (or a staircase at most)

Yup, it's tough to find the motivation to do it after dedicating so much time to running. That's a great idea! We've got a lot of projects in the works.

Thank you for this video. How many times a week do you recommend these exercises be done during a training block for a race? And should they be done after a run, or on an off-day?
@runnersconnect
4 жыл бұрын
No problem! We suggest at least 2-3 times per week. It's probably ideal to do them after a run while you're warmed up, however, the routine can be performed by itself later in the day or as part of another strength/weights workout. It's typically best to do strength work in conjunction with a workout sot that your rest or easy days allow you a chance to fully recover.

if your elderly like me and want to use a muscle roller you may find it hard to get into the "back handstand' position to allow moving the body up and down the roller... I cut a short length of broom handle put it through the hollow roller and in a seated positionI run it up and down my calves...works really well

Going to try and strengthen. Went for test race after straining...the injury is still lurking deep within the tissue, but I WILL beat it.

wouldn't it make more sense to do donkey kicks with straight back, rather than arching them so much as on the video?

Good point! Immediately after that at 4:37 it shows a modification that involves more of a straight leg motion. Link to that document is in the video description.

This video is helpful, thank you. It would be useful if you could really slow down the pace of demonstrating the exercises. Your intro to it all is quite long and then you suddenly rush through the most important bits! Thank you though

Sorry this comment is a bit late......what do you mean by "3 x 20-30 reps"? Do you mean 20 to 30 reps on one leg and then the other and then repeat three times? Also at 5:38 do you mean "Strengthening The Calves"?
@mightymight365
Ай бұрын
It means to do 20-30 repetitions three times, RESTING between each set. (Set being one "set" of 20-30 repetitions.) So yes, do it for each leg. So when you're done with the second leg, the first sould be rested. Hope this helps someone.

Also, I have suffered from calf cramps late in marathons, but not during training. I am doing the strength work (few more, thanks to your vid) to avoid the cramps, but if the cramps strike at the next race, what are some tips to defeat them, besides stopping and stretching? Hydration/electolytes should be ok, so I have been reading up on pickle juice, mustard, and Hotshot drinks for cramp nerve resetting (many articles). Do you have any experience with these?, or any other cramping fix advice? Thank you.

This article should be helpful! runnersconnect.net/muscle-cramps-while-running/ Nearly all the solutions are preventative measures, so if a cramp still strikes in a race, usually your best bet is to stretch and take a brief walking break before trying to resume running.

Great video. Thanks for posting. That said this workout is tough specially on an empty stomach. It is basically 36 sets and you will need to be in decent shape to complete it. I found that for me it is better to do it as a circuit type of work out. 1 exercise/2 legs/entire routine and then repeat it two more times. If you can do some type low impact warm up for 10-20 minutes even better prior to even better
