LOVE the dudes in the arena. But I wish they would bring in more experts like this more often.

I was a division one runner it went to NCAA finals my junior and senior year. I’m telling you we worked on our Achilles and calf muscles a ton. When you’re running like 70 miles a week they’re gonna get worn down so you’re definitely gonna need to have that strength. Even like consistent calf raises will help.
