🏃♂️ Strength Training: The Secret Weapon for Runners 🏋️♂️
Many runners focus solely on mileage and endurance — but strength training is just as crucial for improving performance and preventing injuries. Building strength in key muscle groups enhances running efficiency, supports better posture, and reduces the risk of common issues like knee pain, shin splints, and Achilles tendon injuries.
Even 2 short sessions per week can make a significant difference. Focus on exercises that target the glutes, hamstrings, calves, and core to build a strong, resilient foundation for your running.
💪 Whether you’re training for your first 5K or your next marathon, incorporating strength work is a game-changer.
📍At Back in Motion Physiotherapy & Massage Clinic, we help runners optimise their training, prevent injuries, and reach their goals safely.
