I bought one after your suggestion. Day it arrived I rollered my calves then kind of did my thighs, then back, and it was so ouchily blissful I was lying on it for about 40 mins. Best purchase!
Ace! I now have very floppy calves for the first time in weeks.
Haha I spent my Friday night foam rolling.... oh how times have changed! I'm so glad nobody was there to witness it - but the pain at the time will hopefully be worth it during today's 25 minute run!! 🤞🏻
A foam roller is a tube about a foot long and about 4 inches in diameter covered in shapes made of hard foam. You use them to roll your calf muscles along to make them relax after running. It hurts to start with but the relief if you have tight muscles is immense. You can use it on other tight or sore muscles too.
Thank you Jay66UK I've been wondering what to do with my painful calf muscles having just completed week six - can't wait till my roller arrives tomorrow
