Скачать или смотреть Marathon Training with MS - Soft Tissue Floss Bands To Fight Fatigue & Improve Range of Motion

Many runners experience soreness and trigger points in their calves due to the repetitive nature of distance running.  It doesn’t take much poking around or palpating on the inside of someone’s calves to find some pretty tender spots.

I definitely fall into this category and frequently experience tight and sore calves, especially on my right side.  Due to relapsing remitting Multiple sclerosis, my right leg is functional, but not as strong and stable as my left.  My strength and stability decrease under fatigue, so when I committed to running the New York City Half Marathon, I had to put a good training and self-care plan in place.  The overall lack of control with my right leg means that I also tend to have more soreness and poor tissue quality in that limb.

A simple strategy that has worked well for me is using RockFloss bands on my calves prior to running.

Ten years ago, NCAA athletic trainer Mitch Hauschildt was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). This year, despite relapsing MS, he's preparing to run the New York City Half Marathon — and as an athletic trainer preparing to run a marathon would, Hauschildt built a customized and detailed conditioning protocol for runners with MS. This post is for the runner experiencing drop foot, or suffering from foot drop related to an MS flare-up.
