5 Tips To Speed Up Your Running

Often runners only run. Running is an endurance exercise, but it still requires muscle strength, power and muscle length. Incorporate a strength and mobility routine with your running training to reduce the risk of developing an overuse injury and optimise your performance.

Tip #1:

Complete exercises to improve strength and power in your legs.

Tip #2:

Single leg strength exercises highlight imbalances - repeat more reps on the weaker side.

Tip #3:

Building core strength increases stability of the trunk and improves efficiency of movement.

Tip #4:

Stretch the main muscle groups in the legs to improve mobility.

Tip #5:

Important muscle groups in running = core, gluteals, hip flexors, quadriceps, hamstrings, calves.
