When doing calf raises, do you ever get that situation when you are going on to the balls of the feet, the feet rotates outwards and you find yourself doing calf raises using the outer half of your feet. How do you fix it if it is a problem? maybe if you point both toes inwards?

me personally? nope.. I don't know of any corrective magic for it, but, if you can do say 10-20 reps with proper form, then it slips into that inverted form, sounds purely like some muscle weakness going on, which is better than some structural issue.

pointing toes inwards could help but, i'd imagine you could actively engage internal rotators of hip, adductors of thigh, and focus on plantar flexing neutral, through the big toe. I mean if you're peroneals are weak, I imagine that could be the culprit. Not sure if direct peroneal work (with bands) would have much of an effect.. single leg lateral plank is better at targeting the peroneals imho, but muscles at the hip seem to fatigue quicker.

some dynamic strengthening exercises for it could be side to side single leg line hops (minimal vertical emphasis, just side to side low hops over a line).. should set them on fire if they are weak.

For me, it happens straight away like first few reps, I have to like force myself to come up on my toes. Don't know it happens.
Warm up drills
   - a walk, b skip quick powerful switch (heel to hams focus), a runs, dribbles small to big to run, straight leg to runs (force, reflex, go up/forward). force to hit the ground before it hits the ground knee/hip is at 90 degrees.
   - acceleration: low heel recovery, shin angle low, drive legs back before hitting the ground and drive thighs/knee forward not up
-------------------------------------------------------------
Measuring reminder:
5 toe to heel steps = 148cm

ah damn.. dno really, could be so many diff things I guess. I'd just keep trying to focus on maintaining form (manually) and maybe try to strengthen the peroneals more.

Ok, Thanks for that.  :highfive:

Whoadam

jeah, they look pretty beast. excited ;d



I got these also, since I found them VERY cheap (~$20):

Saucony Spitfire



They have a rubber sole APPARENTLY, but i'm not 100% certain.. If the sole is rubber, I imagine I could even use them on asphalt/concrete etc without the spikes. Could be some good shoes.

- quads alot (VMO's nearly extreme, VL's moderate)
- adductors alot
- glutes nearly extreme


bw 1:
- ng pullups: BW x 9
- full dips: BW x 11
- standing single leg hip flexor: x 30
- standing single leg hip abduction: x 30
- pushups: BW x 35

bw 2:
- chinups: BW x 9
- full dips: BW x 11
- standing single leg hip flexor: x 35

3.5 mile walk with dogs
- some light quad stretches while waiting for dogs to pee/sniff etc



lunch earlier: 6 oz rice + 2 cans of kidney beans + jalapeno + cholula hotsauce:



dinner also had 8 bananas + milk/protein.



hopefully i'm good to get in some intervals tomorrow .. but, might still be too sore. This initial walking lunge soreness is no joke. If i'm still sore i'll just postpone it again, but i'd like to get in some short intervals tomorrow, then running jump rope sunday, then track + spikes wednesday.

- adductors alot
- glutes alot

legs pretty sore but they worked really well during my high intensity walk today.. unfortunately, walking hard can sometimes jack up my already jacked up 2nd toe's on both feet.. right one is gray :(

walk:
- 9.17 mi in 2h:16m:xxs
- only walked the first 4 miles hard, which ended up being a PR .. really pushed it. Last 5 miles I just relaxed.
- 3 consecutive sub 13 miles  :personal-record:
- 4.58 mi in 1 hour  :personal-record:
- actually a few more PR's:
- walking 5k interval: 39:54  :personal-record: , sub 40
- walking 3 mi: 38:30  :personal-record:
- had I kept pushing it, I was on my way to finally hitting 9 mi in 2 hours... that'd be a major walking PR.
- lots of leg power it seems, good sign.
- endomondo: https://www.endomondo.com/users/26420622/workouts/981156194
- strava: https://www.strava.com/activities/1128751157









feel a bit jacked up from it .. right 2nd toenail especially, and left achilles slightly. legs tight etc. I imagine they will feel good tomorrow morning tho.

HOPING legs feel ok for some running tomorrow.

bw = 161
soreness = not much, quads/glutes/adductors slightly
aches = right 2nd toenail wrecked, left 2nd toenail slightly

morning food: carb supp, coffee, english muffin

afternoon session:
- ~12 AM - 2 PM

intervals:
- concrete track
- almost hit age predicted max HR, off by basically 1 beat: 184 vs 185
- 7 x ~400+m, and 5 x ~100m
- for the ~400+'s, started & finished in the same spot but went one lane over each time, so it got longer by the lane stagger.
- those 0.05 mi's in there are really 100m, pretty sure of it .. the 0.07 mi was a 110m sprint (from the 100m hurdle start)..... so those numbers seem off a bit for the 0.05, should be 0.06x. Hit them in basically ~13s from standing start.






jumps:
- submax jumps in KOBE's.. man jumping in bball shoes really sucked, but i'm going to keep doing it to protect my feet. If I go indoors to my favorite indoor gym, i'll probably jump in my favorite flats/jumping shoes.. but outside on concrete at least, going to stick to kobe's.
- 25 jumps each leg
- HR between 140-150 the entire time .. dead from sprints, but jumps do get your HR up.
- took ~10 jumps each leg before I could hit 10' off L-SLRVJ
- highest: ~10'2" from L-SLRVJ
- lool..
- really slow jumps in teh kobe's.. but they definitely protect my feet more than xc flats on concrete, no comparison there.

tough session.. hot as fuck.. drenched



calves are toast.

Very nice, sometimes I get lost in time in places like these.....

thanks. and ya. I used to take basketball very seriously, teh court was my sanctuary.

Kobe told a story in one of his documentaries. he said that in his 1st year when they were eliminated by Utah and twice he airballed crucial shots, that night they came home around 3am and he went straight to a local gym where the janitors let him him and he began shooting until the next day 6 pm, lol.

ya i remember him talking about that.. kobe is def a loner.
