Calf stretch against the wall
Mobility · Learning · in seconds held · per side
Why it helps your running
Calves that release after the effort and an ankle that keeps its range of motion for your next run.
- You'll need
- a wall
How to do it
- Facing the wall, hands on it, one leg well back, heel on the ground, knee straight.
- Push your hips toward the wall until you feel the stretch in the calf, hold and keep breathing.
- Then bend the back knee slightly, heel still down, to stretch lower, toward the tendon.
Common mistakes
- The back heel lifts off the ground.
- The back foot turns outward.
