Are you training for a local race but struggling with nagging pain? 🏃♂️💥
Many Bath runners focus entirely on their weekly mileage, but forget about muscle strength. During a 10km run, you take around 12,000 steps, with each step loading your legs with 2.5 times your body weight! That’s a massive amount of force for your joints and tendons to absorb, which is why lower limb overuse injuries are so common.
The good news? Strength training can reduce running overuse injuries by over 50%, helping you steer clear of Runner’s Knee, shin splints, ITB syndrome, and plantar fasciitis.
Whether you’re a beginner just starting out or an experienced runner looking for a new PB, building muscular endurance is key. If injury is stopping you from running, let’s fix it. At Align Body Clinic, we use specialized strength testing and running analysis to get you back on track.
