Runners, Are you loading your calves enough?
Your calves do the heavy lifting when you run — up to 70% of the work, taking over 8x your bodyweight with every step. 🤯
Bodyweight calf raises at the end of your session won’t cut it. To actually adapt, your calves need:
✅ Heavy strength work
✅ Plyometrics & hopping drills
✅ Coordination with the rest of the chain
