๐Ÿฆต CALF PAIN? PERFORMANCE STALLING? READ THIS.

Your calves arenโ€™t one muscle - and how you train them matters.

๐Ÿง  Straight knee = Gastrocnemius dominant
๐Ÿง  Bent knee = Soleus dominant

Thatโ€™s why calf raises can feel completely different depending on position - youโ€™re targeting different tissues ๐Ÿ‘€

Training for a marathon is great and all but there are a few things you should probably know.
1. Your weekends now revolve around the long run.
Late nights and spontaneous plans take a back seat when you are staring down a long run on Sunday morning.
2. You are hungry. All. The. Time.
As running volume increases and life carries on as normal, you have to learn to fuel properly or you will just feel permanently hungry.
3. You are tired.
An obvious one. Do more, feel more tired. Still, people are always surprised by just how draining marathon training can be.
4. The washing piles up.
Running 3 to 5 times per week on top of normal life means endless laundry. Cold weather equals layers. Warm weather equals everything soaked in sweat.
5. It becomes part of who you are.
The gear. The jargon. Thresholds, intervals, gels, carbons. You do not just train for a marathon, you become the marathon runner. Best to embrace it.

Taking on a marathon is an incredible challenge, but it is not just about race day. It is everything that comes with it.

Quick 3-Minute Pre-Run Warm-Up ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ’จ

Save this & try it on your next run! โœ…

๐Ÿ” Do 15 reps or 30 seconds of each exercise

Sure, you could just start running and let your body warm up naturallyโ€”but research shows that a dynamic warm-up:
โ€ข Improves mobility ๐Ÿฆต
โ€ข Boosts performance โšก
โ€ข Reduces injury risk ๐Ÿšซ

It also makes your run feel smoother and more enjoyable from the very first step. Why not make it a habit? ๐Ÿง 

No matter your fitness level, spending a few minutes prepping your body pays offโ€”literally! If your goal is longevity, building this routine into your runs is a simple way to help your body perform at its best. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฝ
