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
Increasing muscle strength and length will improve PERFORMANCE!
