Nice! I’ve been doing tib raises and bent knee calf raises, but I’m going throw these other variations in as well. Love it, thank you!

Awesome Brandon! Thanks for checking them out.

Dang it! I've stopped running for a week and a half now. Recovering from inner ankle pain. It's getting better but I'll take my chances and recover longer. I won't hit my miles monthly goals and that's okay. Now to strengthen my weak ankles. lol

I hope it helps you out and you are back to running in no time!

I know this video isnt about injury but what I would add to this is the importance of self-massage. I have had a lot of pain in both achilles from trail running and wasn't able to run really at all for the last couple of years. Stretching either didn't help or possibly made it worse. In the last few weeks I've been self-massaging my feet, achilles and surrounding area and suddenly the pain is subsiding and I can run again:)))). The massage is extremely painful in certain spots but I push through. I'm only running short distances but its a marked improvement and I look forward to a long term solution by doing this. I've also been continuing strengthening like in this video, but that alone with stretching did make it worse. Massaging painful trigger points was the solution for my injury. Maybe if you know more about this a video about massaging the feet for injury and injury prevention would be great! Thanks.

It’s good practice! I have had success with self massage on calf area for taking some stress of achilles as well.

@@ZachBitterUltra do you know much about it? Ive only just started self-massaging so im figuring it out as i go. It would be a good video.

Yes!!! you read my mind! ...says the guy with a fractured 5th metatarsal ... my personal program is heavily based on your periodized nutrition approach, and I've teamed up with a physiologist / coach that gets it! Thank you for the knowledge and wisdom that you share!!! #hackingultra
