Are you a Professional Runner?

Are you a professional runner?  Do what the pros do.

 

  1. Have great overall strength.  Regular strength training gives your endurance something to work with.

  2. A great trunk (“core”).  If you are not doing planks every day, start today.

  3. Keep yourself mobile.  Hips, spine, and ankles the biggest three for runners

  4. Attend to your soft tissue.  A regular routine with a foam roll, a massage therapist familiar with runners, or a manual Physical Therapist.

  5. Have an objective training plan.  The plan includes the first 4 items on the list.  Your plan also includes your action steps if you encounter a set-back and are faced with days lost to training (I don't like to call them injuries).  Without a plan, it's tempting to embrace an emotional reaction when your plan exceeds your body.

 

Happy Running!
