How to… Foam Roll Your Calf Muscles

One of the areas of the body that I get asked about most as a running coach is the lower leg and in particular tightness or soreness in the calf muscle complex.  This simple technique video can be used as a tutorial to help you start performing maintenance on your calf muscles using a piece of basic equipment that I believe everyone should have available to them – the foam roller!  Foam rolling is a great way to warm up before a run, or to include in your post-run cool down stretching routine (you do have a cool down stretching routine, don’t you?).

I hope you find the video useful… as always, please share this post so that all your running friends can benefit as well and if you have any questions about the techniques covered in this video please leave a comment or get in touch and we’ll try to get back to you as quickly as possible.

Best wishes
