Exercises to Improve Running Mechanics

Want to improve your speed? Distance? Endurance of your running?

Today in this blog I’m going to share with you some exercises that will help you improve the efficiency of your running as a whole.

Strength and conditioning outside running is one of the most common things that is overlooked by many runners. To help you improve your speed and endurance as well as the longevity of the sports that you like.

I cannot emphasize enough how important strength training is for running. Adding strength and conditioning exercise to your routine, even one or two times per week, can actually be very beneficial to your training—it can help prevent injuries and help to build up the efficiency of your running.

I’m going to share with you some of the exercises that I normally start off with for most runners that come into my clinic. Doing these exercises you will be able to significantly improve the efficiency of your running.

Keeping in mind these tips/advice are of general nature and do not take your injuries/history into considerations. If you are experiencing any pain or would like an individualised tailored program to help improve your running, I highly recommend you speak to any one of your physiotherapists to guide you through your running journey.
