Bottomlining it, I need:
Calf workouts/excersises:
Other sports and/or workouts to compliment my running:

ScOOt the best exercise for your calves to improve your running is just that - RUNNING. Your strengthining your legs (not only your calves) every time you run. Try running on a soft surface, beach running (soft sand) really loads up the legs. Hill running is great too (preferably a natural surface) I could list umpteen weight exercises that attack the calves - Standing calf raises. One leg toe raises. Seated calf raises. Donkey calf raises. etc etc.
Runners need a good all over strength and exercise program and should steer clear of specifics, unless you know that you have a known weakness in that area. ie.calves.
