Strengthen your Achilles and ankle tendons with this 2-move superset.
When it comes to sprinting, nothing’s worse than feeling that dreaded twinge in your Achilles or a sharp pain in your ankle. That's where this superset comes in—it's all about bulletproofing your lower half so you can sprint like a beast and stay injury-free.
By hitting this superset at a minimum three times per week, you'll strengthen those often-overlooked tendons and muscles, giving you the foundation to crush your runs while staying healthy.
3 TOTAL ROUNDS
Calf Raise Eccentrics: 5 reps on each leg
- Grab a heavy kettlebell with the same-side hand as your working foot.
- Start at the top and slowly lower down on a 6-count.
- Hold the bottom stretch for a 6-count.
- Use your other leg to return to standing—no cheating by coming up on your own.
Tibialis Raise: 10-20 reps per leg (until you can't lift the kettlebell all the way up)
- Sit on a bench with a kettlebell looped around your foot, resting your calf on the bench.
- Focus on a big stretch and an even bigger squeeze. Feel free to switch up the angles to hit every part of the muscle.
