I can always tell when people start running again because I tend to see a lot more running injuries. Many of these injuries could be easily prevented if people would just grasp this one key principle: you have to be strong to run.

Most of my runner patients have the misconception that running is sufficient strength training. Because of this, most of them neglect supplementing running with strength training.

Weakness in key muscles can alter mechanics of your run and eventually lead to break down and injury.

So how do you stay strong? What muscles are the most important to train for runners? What areas can you work on to keep you out on the road and out of my clinic?

Today I am sharing my five key exercises to help you run stronger, longer, and injury free.

Of course you know what comes with spring time – RUNNING SEASON! Of course there is another way I can tell that running season is upon us: more and more injured runners start to trickle in to my physical therapy clinic. Whether you’re just getting into running or have done it for years, this time of the year usually brings an increased risk for injury just because people typically don’t run that much during the winter.
