Running

It’s not uncommon for runners to cut down on weight training or ditch it completely for more time on the tar when they’re training for a marathon. This makes sense in theory, but did you know the extra mileage could actually result in more injuries?

Why Runners Should Weight Train

You see, running is a form of aerobic exercise, and it challenges your respiratory and cardiovascular system, but it is also a weight training activity that builds strength in your legs and spine. When you exclude strength training from your exercise routine you might be building muscle endurance in your legs, but you also end up neglecting other crucial areas, including your back, chest and arms. This will cause you to miss out on essential training that improves your running form and prevents injuries.

To be a better runner, not only do you need to combine strength training with the right amount of cardio, but you must also focus on nutrition, sleep and recovery.
