Countdown to Lake Placid Ironman
One-leg drills on the wobbly balls; not for beginners.
As I fix my zigzag calf tightness, I precede my runs with gentle hamstring stretching and arch warmups using the wobbly balls and single calf raises.
My zigzag issue vanishes once I get back into full training - how odd.
Workout:
Run: 2.25 miles on trails, steady, as I work my way back.
Preceded by wobbly balls and single leg calf raises to activate my lazy arches.
Weight room:
5 x 30 cords (low tension) focusing on high elbows (tough after yesterday’s swim).
Arms, shoulders and back weight workout - you know, the standard routine.
Extensive stretching (lengthening) on mats at the gym.
Feels great!
