Is calf training part of your program?
If yes, do you use heavy weights?
If you are only doing body weight calf raises then check this out!!!!
These exercises, whether performed with a barbell or dumbbells, target the calf muscles, including the gastrocnemius and soleus, enhancing their strength and endurance.
The added resistance helps simulate the demands of running, promoting better push-off power and stability during each stride.
By incorporating weighted calf raises, runners can improve their sprinting ability, overall running economy, and reduce the risk of injuries such as Achilles tendon problems or shin splints.
Build up slowly but work towards 4 x 8 reps of body weight or more on the barbell.
Any questions? I'm always here to help ????
