How can I keep my calves from getting thicker when running?

Running can exercise the body and is also particularly effective in shaping the body. So naturally, many people will do this simple exercise. However, running will bring some problems. What women are particularly worried about is that running too much will make the calves thicker and affect their appearance. So, how can you prevent your calves from getting thicker when running? Is there any way to relax the calf muscles after running and prevent them from turning into muscles?

Many people like to run but are afraid to do so because they are afraid that their calves will become thicker and thicker. Running does make your calves thicker, and sprinters have very thick calves. Running can also make your calves stronger. Marathon runners all have very thin calves. This is due to different running postures and running intensities. When running, if you land with the forefoot first or the entire foot at the same time, it will cause damage to the tibia and knee joint in the front of the calf, and will strongly stimulate the calf muscles, causing the calf to become thicker.

If you try to land on your heel first and then transition from the heel to the sole of the foot when running, you can reduce the pressure on your ankle joints and avoid injuries. When your feet land, keep your knees slightly bent, not straightened. This will have a cushioning effect on the knee joints and stretch the calves. This way of running will not make the calves thicker. To avoid carrot legs, you can do some stretching exercises after running to relax tense muscles.

To solve the problem of how to run without making your calves thicker, you must first know how to run correctly and scientifically. The reason why your calves become thicker after running is that the muscles are tight and not relaxed, so after running, you should pinch your calves in time to relax the muscles so that your calves will not become thicker. Another effective way is to pat your legs, walk slowly, and soak your feet in hot water after running.
