The Simple Test for WEAK CALVES that Saved My Running

This simple calf strengthening exercise for runners is also a very effective test for calf muscle strength. Use this test to identify weakness in your soleus or gastrocnemius muscles of the calf complex, in your lower legs. Runners who struggle with this test often have a history of repeated calf injuries and calf pain while running. Use this test to identify your weakness and adjust your running injury prevention exercises accordingly.

ABOUT ME: I'm James Dunne, a runner, sports rehabilitation therapist (similar to physical therapist) and coach based in the UK (Norwich and London).

Since 2007 I've been working with athletes focusing specifically on helping distance runners and triathletes overcome injury and improve performance through developing their individual running technique.

Running biomechanics and physical therapy are real passions of mine. I love to help runners run strong and stay injury free.
