Pilates & Strength Training WILL Help You be a Better Runner

Pilates and Strength Training WILL help you to be a better runner. Yes it will! I know first hand, how much better I run when I’m stronger and more flexible. I also know how difficult running has been for me in the last little while and I know why.

1. I was not consistently doing my strength training.

2. I had gained weight.

3. I had not been consistent with my running either.

4. I had a minor injury which was super painful to run on. Rest was required.

5. I blame my injury on numbers 1 to 4.

I’m proud to say that I am back on track. X-rays, Podiatrist, tape, orthotics and new shoes have got foot feeling 95% almost pain free to run on. I’m strength training twice a week, spinning once a week, running 3 to 4 times per week and doing Pilates for 1/2 to 1 hour a day. This schedule is feeling great. I am feeling great. My running is feeling great!
