As long as the running mode is correct, it will not cause the phenomenon of thick calves. On the contrary, high-intensity sprints will make the calves thicker, while long-distance jogging will not make the calves thicker, but may also make the calves thinner. Long-distance runners rarely have thick calves.

The reasons are as follows: high-intensity sprint belongs to anaerobic exercise and requires strong leg strength. Repeated practice can increase the circumference of calf muscle fibers, thus making the calf thicker; Long-distance running belongs to aerobic exercise. Aerobic exercise, especially long-term aerobic exercise, is characterized by aerobic decomposition of glycogen, glucose and fat. Regular long-distance running will consume the subcutaneous fat of the leg and the fat between the muscle fibers of the leg, thus making the leg circumference thinner. This is also the main reason why sprinters have thick legs and long-distance runners have thin legs.

Precautions:

1, don't run too fast.

2. Try to walk in small steps when running.

Try to put your whole feet together.

As shown in the following figure

In addition, the slimming method to avoid calf thickening is not only to adopt the correct running posture, but also to use jogging under low-intensity, rhythmic and long-lasting aerobic exercise to consume sugar and fat in the body. Jog for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 ~ 2 hours. But the speed should not be too fast, and the heart rate should be controlled within the heart rate range of aerobic exercise, not too slow. Otherwise, it is easy to lose more than gain, leading to the thickening of the calf.
