What is the best way to relax calves after a distance run?

Hello TACOR answers just curious

What is the best way to relax calves after a distance run?

My feet are cool cause they are tingling but the calves are noticably not kosher.

I just noticed that if I go on my toes (so the toes are flat but the feet are upright while sitting it actually does pretty good.. may have this one answered.

For some reason the more I push down on the toes with the feet up the better it feels. Then occasionally putting the tops of them to the ground instead, once them being pushed flat starts getting uncomfortable...


any other ways, like I was thinking ice? Or would heat be better?


I notice that after a while stretching the foot sorta hyper extending the toes towards the knees is a good next step.

But now I notice my thighs just above my knees are sore now instead...

Fist yourself in the arse repeatedly, until the feeling in your calves goes away.

Put ice on one calf and something hot on the other. Report back the results.

Where's your scientific spirit, William?

I dunno, if you'd been raised by the internet, you might actually like beer.

Oh well. Pink Barardi Breezers are cool too. Everyone says so.

Run more often, the calves will be like "whatevs, we do this all the time."

Hot/cold showers. Needs to be at least 30 seconds of cold, followed by a good 2 minutes of hot.
Also, if you cramp up a lot especially in the back, try some magnesium supplements.

Then add it to your resume.

calves seem to be very relaxed when they are nursing on their mama's tits.

Good thought. Will, it's clear that you need to suck on your Mums breasts.

I jog/run somewhat regularly.. just the distance was longer than usual about between 12 km or about 7 miles and 17 km or 10 miles or so, no marathon though. sorta slow at times though, and I had to look around a park for keys that dropped out of my pocket so I had a little rest time.

Yeah I need to keep my jogging to a maximum of no more than 3 times per week not counting short warmups or minute sprints as my knees are getting older now. I try to mix things up with biking and swimming for cardio when possible.

A 3 mile run ain't too bad and is around my regular jog/run.
