YUP….found another exercise to get the hip abductors, external/internal rotators of the hip!! Those sleepy glutes cannot hide from me!! My “back pockets” is burning 🔥

Follow the cues to execute this perfectly to improve your hip abductors and rotators! Hip stability is KING in running and walking!!
We need to avoid unnecessary stress on the knee and hip at all costs!

~SIDE CAT~
A nice little strengthening add to your Cat/Cow routine! The Side Cat will get the Obliques and Transverse Abdominis very nicely and not involve the lumbar extensors! I love this move!

THIS IS WHAT I DO FOR MY PHYSIO PLAN!
MARATHON TRAINING…these above exercises are as IMPORTANT as the Long Run, Easy Run and the Speed Workouts!

These series of exercises videos are exactly what I do on a regular basis. I do mix it up and may not do all of them at once, but I will do a very good combo of these 4-5x/wk. it is necessary for me to do this workout or I could not run as many marathons or as often!
They are my NONNEGOTIABLES!
Marathon running is a big part of my life style- it keeps me fit and disciplined! 🏃🏻‍♀️
What are your NONNEGOTIABLE EXERCISES?

CANNOT GET INTO PIGEON POSE…no worries, I got you!!

My TKR (total knee replacement) patient cannot get into the Pigeon Pose so here is a great alternative!

This variation is a “two for one”… it stretches the groin and strengthens the glute on the same side simultaneously!!
HOW GOOD IS THIS!!!

Listen and Look for the great cues to make this a quick and easy favorite!
Do x10 hold for 2-5s do each side!

~TIBIALIS POSTERIOR~
This super important DEEP CALF muscle is the main muscle that holds the arch of the foot up!
It works with the glute medius and the calf muscles like the gastroc and soleus complex when walking or running.
We need these muscles to work together to keep good alignment in the lower leg. Tib post will assist the plantar fascia to keep the foot a rigid lever in plantar flexion.
If tib post is weak or not functioning well you can develop medial shin splints, knee pain or lateral hip pain!

Listen and Look for the cues to perform this exercise well.
2-3 sets to fatigue.

TAPER TIME🏃🏻‍♀️🤸🏿‍♀️🤸🏿‍♀️🤸🏿‍♀️🤸🏿‍♀️

Well it is that time AGAIN… 2 weeks out from Cape Breton Fiddlers Marathon!
Just finished my last long run of 14 miles and now to TAPER and rest up!!

The TAPER is almost the hardest part… yes I think this and here is why!!

You have worked so hard on the long runs, speed training, pace runs and the easy runs. It has been super intense and hard. But the TAPER PHASE- the mileage drops, time on your feet drops, intensity drops, hard long workouts ie 10x 800 speed sessions this past week drop off, and the super hungry appetite starts or should drop!
When you start the TAPER and all things above are less, it is hard to adjust! Don’t get me wrong, I am so happy to do LESS!
But.. you are still in that super amped up training and building phase, that it is hard to get your head around- YOU HAVE DONE THE HARD WORK, time to slow it down, fine tune, rest, hydrate and SLEEP! Adjust your eating too- you are not burning a million calories! Don’t get slow and heavy! It still requires a lot of discipline to stay the course and don’t second guess the process of the program.. you cannot gain anything at this point but rest PROPERLY!!
