Workout to Improve Muscle Activation & Strengthen Glutes

Strength, Balance and Mobility for Runner Performance

What if I told you that 99.9% of all running injuries were preventable?

Maybe you already knew that. Okay – what if I told you that all running injuries were preventable with just a few minutes of exercise per day? Would you believe me?

Obviously, being injured sucks. It means you can’t run. So you wait a few weeks or a couple of months, and once your injury heals and you get back to running again. Only now you try even harder, because you’re making up for lost time. Soon enough that injury starts flaring up again, or maybe another part of your body starts to get angry. So what’s going on here?
