Foot & Ankle Strength For Runners: Exercise Program For Intrinsics, Arch, Toes & Ankles

We spend so much time running in training and doing the necessary strength work. We watch our nutrition. Religiously following our running training program. But the one thing we as runners tend to neglect is strengthening our feet and ankles.
In this video Sport Scientists, Shona Hendricks and Devlin Eydin give you all the inside info you need when it comes to building strong and healthy feet and ankles for running...

This has been a game changer in my running preventing calf injury, thank you 😊

[@CoachParry]

So glad to hear this! Thanks for sharing.

[@lyndahugill3284]

Thankyou, this is timely for me and exactly what I am looking for. As a 70 + jogger I need to take care of my ankles so I will be doing these regularly.

[@brookedrumbore1492]

Can't wait to incorporate into my training!

[@chandraau1475]

I 100% needed this right now! Thank you!

[@dogmile9397]

Thank you.

[@sumanthramoodley1161]

Thank you for the detailed explanation in doing the exercises. Appreciate your time and patience. I need this as my toes seems to feel sore at times lately when running.

[@rsfitness1]

Great advice and exercises here, thank you for sharing. 😊

[@cliffordstanger8960]

Yoga and rolling works for me in relation to this topic. All great points

[@billyrodriguez42]

Fantastic video and brilliantly explained, my ankle mobility is not good as you said it inhibits my squat game so i'll defo be doing some more of these foot workouts it makes so much sense, thankyou.

[@TommyShlong]

I'm starting this routine today! Looking to get my foot core jacked and ready for the miles. Thanks! :)

[@wendyberdan7830]

Love this! It wasn’t until I had plantar fasciitis that I learned how important feet exercises are. They are a game changer! Thank you!

[@jimfranklin4572]

Thanks for these. I was already doing the towel scrunched and wondering if there were other feet exercises I could do.

[@hollyemery1080]

Thank you for going through this in such detail. Very helpful!

[@CoachParry]

You're most welcome! We're glad you found it helpful.

[@PoetWithPace]

Such important and often overlooked parts of training. Thanks for sharing 👍🏼

[@CoachParry]

That it definitely is and it goes such a long way to preventing injuries.

[@omarsoulay4764]

terrific! alot of us can't even walk correctly.. but we have a drivers license

[@lukeb25]

Great video! Well done! I will incorporate this into my strength training. Thank you!

[@CoachParry]

You’re welcome Luke! So glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.

[@amolsaxena9394]

I would add exercises using the Blackboard-training and Spiraldynamiks

[@sizzler1474]

The universe led me here. I have a calf/foot/ankle pain since my last run. I think it's my posterior tibialis. It's on the inside of my calf and across the foot and under it. So so annoying and means I can not run for a week or so at least. Im guessing my ankle is too blame. My dorsiflexion isn't great and I did a couple extra kilometres on my last run, was just too much 😭

[@mahaboobpasha7197]

PLEASE HOW TO RECOVERY FOOTDROP FAST PLEASE HELP ME SIR

[@stuartneil8682]

Toe lift! So obvious yet in all my life, I have never thought this existed.

[@And-rc9yy]

I spotted an Olympic athlete doing toe exercises yesterday.

[@vegrunner6688]

Lots of great exercises here, but most of these would be very painful to do because of arthritis in my big toe joints. Do you have alternatives or workarounds? Having super high arches and being a big supinator( plus the arthritis) means that sore feet are my nemesis. I know I am not alone. Thanks!

[@AJohnSmith]

Look up Blackboard Training, German based. KneesOverToes guy may have something for you as well.

[@MikeSmuts]

Due to various ligament injuries dating back to school athletics three decades ago I'm very prone to rolling my ankles. My 'sideway' ankle mobility isn't great, ditto for 'sideway' strength. Any chance that you may do a video on that? Thanks.

[@CoachParry]

Great question Mike. Keep an eye on our channel because on Monday we’re publishing the exact video you’re looking for.

[@MikeSmuts]

@@CoachParry great, thanks. Will do.

[@JJBpilot]

Just simply standing on one foot is a start. Do it every chance you can. Then do it on a towel or mat to introduce. instability. Then close your eyes and try it. Then start doing it up on the toes abit....

[@shalusalam5595]

Hi madam i have a pain in shin miscles can u suggest me some excersis

[@insomniang]

Physically can't do the first exercise lol. My whole foot lifts up

[@contrarian717]

Any advice for thin fat pads? Lost it's elasticity. Almost like skin over bones? I'm otherwise very healthy. Thanks.

[@thinkislamcheckmychannel]

Insoles?

[@contrarian717]

@@thinkislamcheckmychannel thanks but no. I did figure out something though 👍

[@thinkislamcheckmychannel]

@@contrarian717 what was your method?

[@contrarian717]

@@thinkislamcheckmychannel I'm eating more protein now than before, hoping that will help the real issue inside my body. But what helped me 95% so far is to wear zero drop shoes. And a normal stress ball - I cut a small piece and place it in the shoe under my arch of my feet. These two methods decrease the pressure on my fat pads ( the ball of my feet and also my heal). Hope it makes sense?

[@thinkislamcheckmychannel]

@@contrarian717 excellent thanks

[@gracielaingunza2239]

EN ESPAÑOL. POR FAVOR !!!

[@amolsaxena9394]

And do NOT do the eccentrics on a step if you have insertional Achilles tendinopathy

[@mauriciopalacio6713]

Wow, it took six minutes to finally demonstrate the exercise. 🤨

[@anel3317]

Plantar fasciitis is caused by narrow shoes (proven facts, google it). It completely stopped for me when I started running in wide toe shoes (barefot shoes actually meaning I had zero drop also) Good video

[@malcomphonela3256]

Thanks very much .. please may I hv email…
