Please, I have rolls in the bed already.

Looking for advice.

My leg workouts are only to
A. Run faster
B. Stave off Runner's Knee. I'm not out here to win a body-building competition.

But my calves are unnaturally sore for reasons I can't account for. I took calf raises out of the routine and it helped a little. But for days without a leg workout or run, they'll be sore. I assumed it was a stretching issue but that doesn't seem to help.

My current rotation is

Single-leg body squats
Glute Bridge
Hip Flexor (for the runner's knee)
and I'm thinking of adding lunges with dumbbells.

Anyone else have similar issues with calves?

I separated my calf muscle from my achilles while running and stepping into a hole in some grass I didn't see. It took years to even gain a fraction of muscle back, but stairs and hills helped the most for me, just walking and throwing plastic at metal. I took it slow. No rush. Now, even though my left calf is smaller than my right, they're much bigger and in better shape than before the incident.

Jesus. You didn't see a doctor?

Also, what's "throwing plastic at metal" here?

Plankton · 06-22-2021, 10:28 AM

No doc, no insurance. I've had quite a few injuries where I just PT'ed myself back into shape.

Disc Golf. Thats what throwing plastic at metal is. It helps to keep me motivated to get out and move around, and I'll hit the more mixed elevation courses as much as I can, like this little run on hole 16 at Dellwood:
