Wonderful been looking at your videos for the first time. I been doin CrossFit for almost 2 years. And my goals are to get the most muscle mass I can. I am 66 years old and I look pretty good . I am the oldest one at my gym and I also do weights with my trainer 3 times a week. I been struggling with a few things but today they been cleared up. I share your videos with all the ladies I have in my 7:00 class. My daughter is 44 and we train at the same gym. CrossFit has been the only thing that de stresses me . I have had hard 2 years due to my retirement being reduced due to a commercial property I had and was demolition by city of Miami. But I have also equipment at my home . Thank you so much your a great teacher and I will continue looking at your videos and sharing thank you so much
That was very helpful. I notice tension in my legs and feet when I am running, especially when going up and down slopes. Those stretches will help a lot with that.
Been a follower for a long time, thank you for the great content. It would be great to see some ideas on increasing speed to work toward a 40 minute:5 mile run
Kristi, love this video. Thanks for the excellent content you share with us. Wonder if you could consider to make a video about how can one progress in this hybrid athlete journey if you also have a fat lost goal and you want to avoid to be in a too low calorie intake. Thanks
Oh my gosh! My big toe had just started hurting when I run and it feels like it needs to be popped but it comes and goes. So thank you for that exercise going to do that starting today along with all of these other wonderful exercises. Thank you
Hey Kristi, im new to your channel. Have seen a few videos and I find very helpful information in all of them, thank you so much for that. This video was wesome! Keep up the good work.
excellent tips. toe injuries are so annoying! personally i found that cushioned shoes let me up mileage heaps without injury, didn't know what i was missing until i got a pair.
I am really impressed about all the things that you know about preparing and doing things to avoid injuries. I mean, how do you get yourself aducated about what is best to do before running, which areas do you have to strenghten first to avoid getting injured? Are you just researching? thanks for letting me and us know, as I am constantly working on ways to helf me out myself rather than going to specalists, that costs a lot of money. I know, that at some point, it makes sence to do so, but wanna be a little independent, too! Thx for getting back
Thanks for these exercises, I need to add these to my routine. Your spot on, I thought my calfss are strong but not really 😏. I just got calf muscle strain 2 weeks ago from... Calf raises. Respect the calf movement My mistake was 2 sets 7.5kgs (1/12 reps, 1/6reps) Single Calf raises. Ending with Bodyweight Single Calf raises pump, On my right leg on the 7th rep my calf muscle pop. I now can walk and started strength training my calfs. And started zone 1 running again 😊 Keep up the great content
Love the video! Question: I'm a recovering fat guy who's fallen in love with Crossfit. I'm down about 50 lbs over the past 5 years, I still have 20 or so to go. I'm now trying to get better at running, it's always been a weakness. I live in Utah and want to do some big trail running in the mountains next summer. I see often the 10% rule, so I know how to progress my running distance, but how do I know where to start? For now I can run a straight mile, but not fast and not without pushing my cardio.
Hey! You are crushing it! and my suggestion would be to run slower, most runs should feel "easy" no mater how slow that means you are moving. even if it is a shuffle, run that mile without pushing your cardio. this will allow you to build and improve running before worrying about how fast you are!
For the calf raises, why did you not use a block under the ball of your foot so your heal can go below the ball of your foot, further extending the range of motion?
i wonder if you've ever experimented with barefoot shoes? i still can't run long distance in them, but i do all my crossfit and lifting in them, and honestly it was a gamechanger for my running to have that basis of strength and stability from WODs and also just straight-up walking around. like, i didn't think there was that much muscle you could develop in your foot 😂 i think that forcing yourself to walk/run/move with proper form, as it were, also strengthens your calves in a natural, throughout-the-day kinda way. so i'm curious if that's something you've ever considered, although i am by no means an expert myself!
The calves are not one of the smallest muscle groups... It's actually one of the largest and most powerful. Just think about how much you can load on your calf raise... and it supports your entire body on a daily basis when you are walking, taking stairs, etc. How can you even begin to imagine it's one of the smallest? It's actually the third biggest muscle group of the body after the glutes and quads.

Love these tips! Looking forward to incorporating these into recovery days during ultra training.
The banded toe curls are an amazing idea. Never thought of those! Thanks

Great video.

This is such a great video! Thank you so much for the helpful information!!
Thx! These were great tips!
Loved this!! SUPER helpful!! Especially as my running programming is amping up!!
Any tips on training for 4x4x48?!
This is really helpful. I hope you can post-run workout as well.
great topic !!!! thanks !!!
Thx. I have so many issues with this
Can you do a video discussing proper running form?
Thank you!! 💕🏃🏼♀️
For the calf raises, why did you not use a block under the ball of your foot so your heal can go below the ball of your foot, further extending the range of motion?
THIS WAS GREAT..!
Hi Kristi, great video. Is there any benefit to placing a plate under the front portion of your foot while doing the calf raises?
Full ROM calf raises should be done on a step not the floor
Great video

It would be cool if you go to hwpo and CrossFit mayhem and do workouts with mat and then do a workout with frowning
Injruy free?
I get bored during running. So then my form goes to shit.
These look like they would heal plantar fasciitis
