In reply to Kenney. Hi lovely, thanks for reaching out! <3 Calves are a bit tricky because genetics is a big factor. Rachael often gets these questions so she wrote a very detailed blog post about it. I think you’re going to find it very helpful :) You can find it here. I hope this helps! xx Love, Sanja

Hey team Rachael,i’ve doubt about place running and calves bulking-actually I place run three times a week,19 y/o and mesomorph. I’m starting to feel my calves getting thicker and bigger,you think I should stop place running?

Hey lovely,

Thanks for reaching out :)

I suggest you take your physiotherapist’s advice for some time and see if it works, but be sure to be sure you warm up before the workout and stretch after. If you still feel pain after running, it may be good to hear a doctor’s opinion as well.

Also, If you have a weak posterior tibial, I would recommend you do exercises that focus on getting your core stronger.

Love,
Sandra

Hello, in my case I have been running 30 min twice a week and the injuries have appeared. I have never run since I was little, but I have been running very slowly according to my physiotherapist, that coupled with the fact that I still have a weak posterior tibial, does not help. She has recommended running faster and less travel. Do series, to see if this helps me avoid damage.

You’re welcome lovely! :)
It would be the best to run by landing in the middle of your foot as much as possible and not put too much pressure on heels or toes.
If you find that you are getting shin splints or other injuries from running, getting orthotic supports will really help. A lot of shoe shops will analyse your walking/running gait and will then give you a shoe with the right support. I would also suggest seeing a podiatrist who will give you orthotics to specifically suit your foot – they are amazing! xx

Love,
