Clarke says: “This is a basic strength and conditioning programme with the focus on core strength and the ability to maintain strong form when fatigued. In addition, having had some Achilles tendon issues and being a forefoot runner, I have to do some specific work with my calf muscles. My standard daily post-run exercises include: straight leg heel raises over a step, ankle strengthening and mobility work with a theraband, side clams, lying straight legs raises (front and side) for hip strength, rope stretching and additional calf stretching using board against a wall.”
