Flexibility and Mobility: Boring but ESSENTIAL!

FULLY prepare yourself to get to that start line: Flexibility and Mobility:

Training is a serious endeavor, and going from taper or rest to full effort increases your risk of injury. Whether you’re a beginner runner preparing for your first race or an advanced runner looking to set a new personal record, how you warm up and cool down matters.

Still, we often forget to consider what to do prior launching a hard workout, race, or holistically speaking-regimented training program. It’s important to incorporate mobility exercises throughout the week to make sure your body is primed for more intense workouts. Proper lengthening and stretching both before and after exercise also plays a key role in preventing injury and healing challenged tissues.

To help you stay consistent and safe in your run training, I put together a habitual and simple yet all encompassing flexibility and mobility plan for you to incorporate today! Remember that it’s important to work on static and dynamic stretching so that you can have the flexibility of a muscle to attain increased mobility of a joint. The better range of motion, the better running mechanics!

For runners because of the repetitive nature and heavy loads we place on our tissues, it is imperative to commit to a stretching and mobility routine to improve flexibility, range of motion and avoid injury. Tight muscles can lead to muscle tissue tears and painful forces on the joints . I recommend incorporating mobility workouts 3 days a week in addition to strength training. I like to do my mobility before my harder and longer efforts.
