Pilates for Runners - by Tori Norris
Whether you’re running for fun, fitness, or to be fast, efficiency is key. You need your body to be at it’s best using the right muscles and just the right amount of energy to meet your personal goal. Having a strong core plays an important part in translating the power of the legs to propelling the entire body forward through space and helps to reduce injuries that runners can be plagued by such as IT band or Anterior Cruciate Ligament issues.
While strength in your deepest abdominals is a key part of core strength, you need more than just that to support your run. To make the most from your run you need a fine balance of strength in the different areas of your core, including abdominals, spinal muscles and glutes. More from A Balanced Life
