Calf stretching for runners – Download exercise sheet

Tight calves from running? Don’t just focus on your calves – adding stretches for other key areas often leads to better results.

👉 This calf stretching plan includes:

• Stretches for all the main muscles that can contribute to tight calves

• Neural mobilisation stretches – if your sciatic nerve can’t glide freely, it can cause tight calves and even lead to strains

• Calf-specific stretches
