Cross training is a great way to strengthen the muscle groups that either don't get a workout when running or are subject to fatigue in distance running.
Your glutes are your running powerhouse. Strengthening them is crucial for holding good running form, improving performance and helping prevent injury.
Single leg exercises are where only one leg touches the ground and the other is held off the ground, for example: Single leg deadlift and single leg squat.
Introducing strengthening exercises to our training routine can prevent or minimise the risk of a knee injury. It’s also helpful for recurring knee pain.
