Stability Training
Stability training is essential not only for the long or short run; it is a great tool for exploring your strengths and weaknesses in order to become more focused with your training.
Each class will dedicate a portion of time to explore each participant’s overall stability, with special focus on isolating, articulating, and integrating the muscles of Feet, Legs, and Pelvis.
Core Conditioning
A solid core is more than how many “Crunches” you can do.
It is very important for runners at all levels to address overall core stability in order to maintain optimal posture for both short and long runs.
It is essential for all athletes to train sport specifically, so why do many runners do their crunches lying down? Think about it, do you run on your back?
Each class will include standing core exercises and traditional abdominal exercises to maximize your workout.
While the standing core exercises are especially important for trail runners who need to maneuver over uneven terrain they are helpful to runners of all levels.
Flexibility
It is essential to have a body that is as supple as it is strong in order to perform at your best and to avoid injury.
Flexibility is not just about touching your toes; to maintain a functional, balanced, and healthy body, we need to address flexibility throughout our entire body.
From your neck, down through your shoulders, upper, middle, and lower back, your hips, elbows, knees, fingers, and feet, how supple are you?
Starting with your FEET and working our way up, you will have the chance to experience new ways to improve your flexibility from head to toe. You will also have the opportunity to learn how breath-control and the use of certain props can aide in your flexibility practice.
Keep in mind, flexibility training can be uncomfortable, but it should NEVER be painful.
