Running on sand sounds so unpleasant. But its probably good for you.
Isn't calf size incredibly genetic? I'm not too concerned with how my calves look, but I'd like them to be used to more activity. After a hiking trip last summer my calves were in so much pain, I'd like to avoid that again this year so maybe more, low-weight reps would be better for that. Idk.
Decided to kill some time with abs.

Calf raises are the one exercise where I find that doing, let's say, 1 set of 80 reps at 20 lbs nets me better results as far as definition and growth is concerned than the standard hypertrophy 3 set/10 repetition arrangement that works for every other muscle group (I do wonder if forearms might be better served with this as well, but they get enough work on my curls, I keep my thumb inside, next to my other fingers, as opposed to around the handle. Works great as far as allowing me to get more work out of lower weights, which I always prefer). I also do standing one-legged calf raises with a hand resting against some kind of support for balance. My calves are the best looking part of my body.
