Episode 108 Strength Exercises for Injury-Prone runDisney Runners Races

In this episode of Running to the Castle you’ll learn how to decide what exercises to do when you’re an injury-prone runner.

In this episode I discuss the importance of a comprehensive strength training for runners, emphasizing the importance of addressing weaknesses in all major muscle groups (legs, core, arms) to prevent injuries like runner's knee, rather than solely focusing on painful areas.  

There are two methods for selecting appropriate exercises: you can do exercises that include movements at all joints and in all directions each joint goes, and making sure you include all major muscle groups. For injury-prone runners who aren’t sure how to do that or don’t want to Google how to do that they can work with a coach, physical therapist or program. for assistance
