Strength & Conditioning Class

Service Description

Strength And Stability For Runners & Triathletes Learn about your running muscles and how to use them! ​ Improve your running with bodyweight training focusing on running specific exercises that will help you correct your form and gain muscular strength to help to prevent injury. ​ Runners often neglect Strength and Conditioning, but bodyweight training will make you a stronger, faster and more injury-proof runner. Most runners spend their entire training time running. ​ That’s no surprise – if you want to get really good at something you need to keep at it, right? In some disciplines with a high skill requirement, such as playing the Violin or darts, then yes, practice does indeed make perfect. But for runners, dedicating every minute of every workout to pounding the pavements (or the treadmill) is not the most effective way to improve. So why not? You run the risk of exacerbating any muscular imbalances and injuries, damaging your joints, tendons and ligaments, and simply causing your progress to stagnate so you don’t get fitter or faster because your body gets used to doing the same session multiple times each week. So what’s the answer? As most many running experts will tell you, whether you’re new to running or an old hand, you need to spend at least one workout a week improving your muscular strength, especially the muscles of your core, lower back, glutes and legs. This can replace one of your runs or be a bonus session.
