What should I do if my calves become thicker after running?

Some people report that running may cause their calves to become thicker. Many female friends do not like their calves to become thicker, and think that it will look very ugly when wearing clothes. However, if you want to exercise to lose weight, running is necessary. So there are gains and losses. Next, let me introduce to you what to do if your calves become thicker when running. Everyone should take a good look.

The reason why your legs become thicker after running is mainly because of the consumption of fat. Your muscles are also trained and become tighter, so the muscles become stronger and thicker.

Hey, I'm an athlete, so I have muscles, but I can teach you the stretching that the PE teacher taught me, it's very useful...

In fact, stretching is a muscle-relaxing exercise such as leg stretching, which can not only lengthen the muscle lines, but also shape the body...

After running, you just need to put your legs up high, stretch them as straight as possible, and then press forward. Even if it hurts a little, you have to bear it. If you persist for a long time, your muscles will get better. Also, stretching alone may not have a very obvious effect. It is best to rub your legs more after running to loosen and soften your muscles, and then stretch them. This way the effect will be better.

There are several reasons why your calves become thick when you run:

1. After running, your calf muscles become filled with blood, so you feel your calves become thicker. If you rest for two days and then check again, your calf should have recovered. Muscles need a recovery period.

2. You didn’t do stretching exercises after running. After running, you should do stretching exercises for 10 minutes. This can effectively prevent your calves from becoming thicker and make your calf lines better and more slender. You can search for videos on specific stretching exercises online. There are many of them. Just pick one to do after running every day.

3. If it is 4000 meters, I don’t think you will run too fast, so it should not reach the level of anaerobic exercise, so the reasons why your calves become thicker should be the above two.

I hope this helps, I also run every day.

It is actually a very common problem that your calves become thicker when running. We should pay attention to this problem in our lives. We should do some warm-up exercises before exercising. This can not only prevent our calves from becoming thicker during exercise, but also prevent us from getting strained during exercise.
