Default How to Be a Better Runner? - 07-10-2013, 11:36 AM

To be a better runner you have to get out there and run, right? Sure, running a lot will help you improve your running speed and endurance but there are other training choices that can be effective too.
Resistance training is a great way to build a stable. Strengthening exercises that focus on multi-joint movements develop functional strength, which enables our bodies to do natural movements with greater strength and therefore less chance of injury.
If you have a road bike, or at least access to a spinning class, then you have one of the very best exercise for runners readily available to you! Cycling is great because it utilizes your leg muscles in a similar movement to running, so physical fitness you develop from biking will hold over well when you run.
Cycling will improve strength in your quads, hamstrings, and glutes, all of which are major movers in your running stride. To explore more please do visit us at "makeyourbodywork"
