Foam Roll: Calves

Rolling the calf muscle over a foam roller to release tightness from running or standing training.

Setup

Sit with the foam roller under one calf, hands behind you for support, other leg crossed on top for extra pressure if desired.

How to do it

1. Slowly roll from just below the knee to just above the ankle.
2. Pause on any tender spots for a few seconds.
3. Roll for the target time, keeping the motion slow.
4. Switch legs and repeat.

Coach's notes

Rotate your leg slightly side to side while rolling to reach the inner and outer calf.
