Alignment Based Warmups - Do one of these BAREFOOT before EVERY run!
Do one of these warmup routines before you start ANY run. Most running injuries are not caused by impact or overuse, but from skeletal and muscular imbalances. These warmups are designed to get your body aligned and warm before you head out for a run, ensuring proper form, which leads to better running economy and faster times!
We chose Egoscue based yoga because of the focus on the breath. As a runner, your breath is one of your most important tools, and learning how to control it and "relax around the work" is paramount to your success.
Core Strength Routines
Do one of these routines post-run at least 3 times per week (barefoot if you can).
A strong core is essential to proper running mechanics. However, your core is MORE than just your abs. These routines have been carefully selected to ensure that you strengthen the areas that are important to your running. We have intentionally mixed yoga and Egoscue based core routines.
