People who run or partake in running-adjacent activities: how do you stop your calf muscles from instantly tightening? I've tried to take up jogging several times over the years but sometimes before reaching the end of the road I'm hobbling along in agony. I have had plantar fasciitis a few times and I've got arthritis in one toe, so I'm prepared to accept that gait/posture is the problem, but this can't be insummountable.

Brisk walking, followed by building up to 30s jogging then back to walking, slowly move up to jogging for longer intervals with rest periods in-between, increase the jogging times as your body allows. Don't push yourself too far too fast. If its something you haven't done for a long time you need to build your muscles up to be able to cope E. Also if space allows, get a skipping rope for home and do some skipping to build the muscle in your calves Salisbury Snape fucked around with this message at 22:37 on May 14, 2024 |

Do you have actual running shoes that aren't ancient? You might be running way too fast or too much distance to start off with (usually it's the former). If it's becoming full-on cramps you might be lacking magnesium or other electrolytes, or be dehydrated. If you want to set yourself up for success I recommend following C25K (use an app), getting some shoes from a running or sports store that will help you find something that works for you, running slower than you imagine is possible at first, and drinking plenty of water and eating something salty like an hour before running. Don't bother stretching before you run. Also check out The Running Thread in YLLS for more opinions than you could ever want

I've tried every type of stretching and all that jazz but nothing really works fully, like it'll ease it more than before but the cramping will still come!

Stretching is pretty useless for me too, but a good five or ten minute warmup walk before you start jogging/running can do wonders to get stuff activated and avoid cramping

England (Manchester) is nice. Pretty funny that even if it's half as cheap as Iceland it felt expensive because I spent a couple days in rural Wales beforehand so it was twice as expensive as the Welsh standard which made the beer feel expensive even if it was 10+ year old prices by Reykjavik standards. Great food (Indian and also Nandos.). Amazing pubs. Fantastic historical buildings and museums. Culture shocks: -Phonebooths still exist? -There's a lot more abject poverty and homelessness than any other place in Europe I've been. Which is a huge bummer and probably somehow Thatcher's fault. -Your 'bacon' is weird ham.

This actually sounds like you are using your calf muscles too much rather than thigh. Try opening up your legs more. This actually may feel harder if you have been used to calf running/walking. It took a couple of months for my partner to retrain her body to not calf walk/run. It's worth it though she said. I also highly recommend swapping to zero drop running shoes if finnance allows. And the brand is Altra Lone peak. You may need special insoles if you have arch problems. Please stretch before and after and don't bounce the stretch. Hold it for 10-15

Hmm so buy shoes, eat crisps, don't stretch, then do a comedy slow-mo run for 30 seconds. This is the kind of exercise regime I could cope with. Also yes I could get a skipping rope.

Also if your calves are tightening that severely so early on in the run it means you've likely got a really tight posterior chain (almost certainly the biggest contributor to your bouts of plantar fasciitis too). Stretching before you set off might help a bit, but what you really want is a regime of stretching you do every day to loosen everything up, improve function, move better. A good pair of trainers with a nice raised heel will do wonders too. If you PM me I'd be happy to email you over a relatively straightforward stretching regime that'll help a lot if you persevere with it.

Static stretching before an activity has generally been seen as a bad thing for decades now and can increase injuries not help them You need active stretching and a warm up (brisk) walk or gentle jog

Active stretching is just better. You'd still static stretch over no stretching and you still static stretch at the end.

Without static stretching there would be no goatse. That is not a world I'm prepared to live in.

Nah, if they existed at all they used farming tools. Fictional ones often use a ninjato, because they look cool.

I do calf raises on stairs before I go for a run which stopped mine hurting early in a run as well as doing the 5 minute walk c25k recommends

It's not a boomer thing to hate bicyclelists. When you ride three abreast down a national speed limit road and back up traffic, you are a bunch of lycra wearing cunts. Pay some road tax like the rest of us and by all means you can be an entitled shitfuck

i stopped cycling and switched to running mainly cos i got sick of having to clean and maintain a bicycle, but a nice side effect is that i no longer have to worry about some puce-faced dickhead in a transit van wiping me out while screaming about "road tax" just because i've added 10 seconds to his journey, knowing that my death would be avenged at best by a 6 month ban and a £350 fine

surely riding side by side makes it easier to overtake, if you're doing so safely you need to move at least partially into the oncoming lane anyway and it reduces the length of the bikes as a group and thus time needed to overtake
