Discomfort in the Calves
Transitioning to the Pose Method of Running makes your running more efficient through the use of gratuitous forces such as gravity and ground reaction force. Many beginners often experience soreness in the calves during the first few weeks after transitioning. This is perfectly normal because your muscles need time to adapt to the new technique. If this problem persists longer than a few weeks it is more likely due to incorrect technique. Landing on the Ball of the Foot does not mean keep your heels off the ground as you run, it simply means center your bodyweight on your forefoot in order to be able to change support more quickly.
Practise Bouncing on the Ball of the Foot as Dr. Romanov demonstrates to get a feel for how your landing should be.
Landing correctly on the Ball of the Foot will eliminate calf discomfort, and allow you to continue your training without soreness.
