Injury Prevention

When I first started running 20+ years ago, my pre-run routine included nothing more than getting dressed and lacing up my shoes. When I realized I wanted to see my performance improve I learned I would have to make some changes. Especially as I have gotten older, a running specific warm up is now a non-negotiable. When it comes to warming up before a run I always say something is better than nothing. If you only have 2 minutes, use that 2 minutes rather than skipping the run. Better yet, cut a few minutes off your run so you have a little more time to warm up.

Hip internal rotation is a movement at the hip that allows the femur to move inward, towards the midline. It is important for runners to have enough internal rotation at the hips to ensure that the muscles around the hip are balanced, mobile, and stabile. Working on hip internal rotation can help prevent imbalances that can potentially lead to injuries and can help to ensure that the muscles around the hip are working efficiently.

You don’t know the life of a runnergirl, babe. J You don’t know the life of a runnergirl, babe. Just living that 3:30am alarm clock life and chugging gels like it’s my job. #longrun #marathontraining #lifeofashowgirl
Has to be a quick dance party because I’m alread Has to be a quick dance party because I’m already running late! Why does this album get stuck in my head during all of my runs? #running #marathontraining #lifeofashowgirl
19 miles! 7 on the treadmill, 12 outside, 1,272 to 19 miles! 7 on the treadmill, 12 outside, 1,272 total feet of elevation gain. Amazing weather. Listened to Life of a Showgirl on the treadmill and had some podcasts saved for my outside run but couldn’t get my headphones to connect. This was challenging by the end and I kept thinking how hard it would be if I needed to run another 7 miles today (and all miles at a faster pace) but this is why we train. Feeling like I’m in a good place with 6 weeks to go! How was your run today? #run #marathontraining #longrun
