Mobility for Runners – Calf Foam Roll

Yesterday I followed up the Functional Movement Screen I did two months ago. I was glad to see improvements, especially as I’m in a tough training period now with quite high milage. Feels like I’m on the right track for the marathon in early March.

My training regime comprises mostly running, but to make sure the body holds together I do some mobility, strengthening and balancing exercises as well.

Third exercise video, Calf Foam Roll. Targets tight muscles in the calf, improves ankle mobility and increase stride efficiency. The sound is still poor, sorry. In summary, this is what Henrik Olofsson (trainer) is saying:

“Place one leg on the foam roller. Start by the ankle, up and down – side to side, move up systematically all the way up to the knee. A mobility exercise for runners, especially long distance runners who gets a lot of beating on the calves.”
