Don't be that runner who can't train consistently because you constantly suffer from injuries

As coaches we constantly see athletes demoralized with their training or rather lack of training due to injuries. Many of them end up bouncing around between physio's, chiro's or other professionals who treat the symptoms but are not solving the underlying problem. Running is a sport that is hard on the body due to its repetitive cyclic motion. By including a structured strength training program that is designed for runners we can safe guard the body against injury and spend more time running/

My legs are moving but I am not seeing the results!

I am training hard but I am not seeing results! Maybe I need more mileage in my program?

Does this sound familiar? Runners are a special bunch with certain personality traits and while most of the traits are good there is always one negative trait....We Don't Vary Our Training! If we look at other sporting codes such as rugby you will see that they don't just practice skills all day long. They will include, strength, core strength, power, agility and endurance in their programs. Runners tend to just run. However the best way runners can diversify their training is to include strength into their training. And YES RUNNERS NEED TO BE STRONG! Apart from the obvious injury benefits, running will help your running economy and improve your endurance resulting in a better performance.
