5 Running Exercises Built for Injury Prevention
Don’t neglect these stabilizer muscles any longer!
Those who run without injuries for years usually have one thing in common: they’re smart with strength training. Sometimes runners think that they need to get in the gym five times a week and replicate the regime of a bodybuilder to optimize performance, but this is simply not the case. In as little as 30 minutes a week, you can isolate and strengthen the joints and muscles holding you back, not only decreasing injury risks but drastically elevating your running performance. You just need to know where to look.
In the next few minutes, I want to break down five strength exercises built to help you avoid pain and injuries while running. We’ll look specifically at strategies to develop the hip flexors, glutes, knees, calves/Achilles, and ankles. If you can isolate and fine-tune these problem-riddled areas, you’ll feel much more balanced and strong throughout the running gait.
