I use my left leg a lot; to stand up, first leg up a stair, etc. I believe I should work my right leg more. I’m a runner. Recently I’ve had discomfort in my left calf. I think its because my right leg is too weak or not strong enough to the point were my left leg does all the work. What workouts can I do to help this problem?
One thing that you can do either at home or in the gym are one-leg calf raises. Using a stair and having something nearby to hold on to for balance, raise your entire body with the calf muscles of one leg (always good practice to do your weak leg first then match the number of reps with your strong leg as to not make the imbalance worse).

get into the habit of walking around home or other places on the tiptoes of your right foot. In time it will get stronger.
