Heard it was a good workout so got a few of my heaviest bands and strapped them together and circled one to the stairs in my basement and the other around my waist and ran for about 20 minutes and it destroyed the heck out of my calves, they have never been this sore in my dang life.. any advice?
Build up slowly :-)
You spent much of your time dealing with controlling deceleration which you don't deal with when running normally.
As stated above too much too soon. Although I don't know why you'd do this for more than a few minutes as part of a circuit.

Just felt like runnin but no treadmill
I ran in place nearly every day for a couple of months earlier this year, including intervals. The calves were very sore after the first time, I could hardly walk. I waited three-four days, and could still feel it but tried again; it went fine, and was fine thereafter. I did experience intermittent problems with my ankles over the two months if I pushed too hard though, so be cautious!
I think it is very good training, improving cadence, improving technique (high knees), and focusing and thus strengthening certain muscles more than ordinary running.
I know the feeling. I recently jogged up this hill close to my residence. It was about 40 to 50 meters long. Did this 12 times and my legs were gone for about 3 days. Im doing them again tomorrow and for the rest of the summer. See how much speed it gives me
RIP: D3 All-American Frank Csorba - who ran 13:56 in March - dead
