How often do you work on your core strength?

Runners need to strength train at least twice a week to support their form and keep you healthy. However, you can work on core more often.

Here’s a modification to your plank: start in forward plank position and reach one hand under and across your body while holding your body parallel to the ground. Then, rotate that arm up toward the sky and repeat.

As always, let me know if you would like to improve your running or if you are having pain or difficulty running - I would love to help you out. I perform ONLINE physical therapy and ONLINE VIDEO RUNNING GAIT ANALYSIS and can get to you asap. Email me at ‪Kari@RefinedRun.com‬

The Romanian Deadlift for Hamstrings

The Deadlift and Romanian deadlift are different exercises.

The key differences are that in the deadlift your knees are bending and straightening like in a squat and in the Romanian deadlift your knees remain with a slight bend during the whole exercise. The other key to this exercise is maintaining your back position through the whole motion. The majority of the motion is coming from your hips.

This movement allows us to place more targeted stress at the hamstrings rather than the quads.

If you have been lacking on strength for the posterior chain or for the backside of the legs this is an excellent exercise for you.

For runners, we need specific strengthening for our hamstrings to keep our muscles balanced in the legs and for powerful strides.

Try this exercise with just a broomstick in your hands to work on your mechanics and feel the work in the hamstrings.

Not all Heel Strikes are Bad 🤯

Yay!

The difference between heel striking that has too much impact forces and a heel strike that has less impact forces comes down to what's happening at the knee.

In runners who land on their heels, those who had more knee bending absorbed shock better than those who landed with the knee stiff.

What should you do?

First, a gait analysis to see what you are actually doing when you run is necessary.
Then, modifying the knee impact through gait retraining can reduce the impact when your foot hits the ground.

Youth Running Injuries

Research shows that youth runners who sustain bone injuries (stress fractures) have greater hip drop and vertical ground reaction forces (how hard they land).

It’s never too early to change these movement patterns in your young runners!

Start working on:

💪Side Planks

🏋🏾‍♂️Band Walks

🏃🏼‍♀️Gait Retraining

Do you look at the wear on your shoes before buying a new pair?

By looking at the wear pattern it will give you some clues on what is happening during your running gait but it won’t tell you why those movement patterns are happening or what to do about it. Let me know what you see and we can develop a plan!

Look for:
🧐 asymmetry
🧐 amount of heel strike
🧐 amount of forefoot wear
🧐 where the forefoot wear is - middle, inside, outside

Need some core progressions?

This is an advanced move so do not attempt without consulting with your medical provider.

One reason that I like ball runners is that it forces you to work on control in multiple areas of your body at once, while maintaining a running pattern.

💥hip flexors
💥glutes
💥core
💥shoulders
💥side to side balance

Enjoy!

What are some of your favorite core exercises?

No time to work on flexibility or mobility?

If you work at a desk or on a computer try to stand occasionally throughout the day and put a stretching wedge under your desk. You can also prop your forefoot on a large book.

Remember to stretch one side at a time.

What else can you work on to benefit your running while working?

What should you do about chronic injuries? ..
🔍Get a functional examination and running gait analysis as soon as possible! ..
🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♂️The longer you try to wait it out, or take time off and then start again with pain, the longer you miss out on enjoying your sport. ..
Rest is usually not the answer. ..
This asymmetry is from a runner I saw who was having chronic pain off and on for years. When running through pain and with abnormal movements and mobility, injuries can spread. By examining what is going on during running (along with a thorough examination) the best program can be made, specifically for you.
