Need to strengthen but don't want to lock yourself in a gym? We understand you! And that's why I've concocted 10 possible exercises to do at home without weight training equipment. These exercises will allow you to work on the specific movements of the runner based on body mechanics, posture, coordination and proprioception.
If you can't take three strides without pain along your shin, if you can't put pressure on it, or if there is a burning sensation and pain when you lift your foot to the sky, you are probably suffering from what is called shin splints.
Running is fun! But often we can encounter small problems such as pain, injuries, not progressing as wanted.... This can be due to a variety of factors including eating and drinking before running, poor warm-up and stretching, unsuitable clothing.
We don't always think about it, but abs are essential muscles in running. How and why? Straight and oblique muscles allow us to maintain an ideal posture and avoid tilting the upper body forward when we start to get tired.
