In a continuation of our fall yoga feature, last week Coach Kelly used yoga to help improve stability for runners. Popular yoga exercises like bird-dog and tree pose improve balance and stability by targeting the core stabilizer muscles. Allowing the body to safely adapt to change while moving.
Why should runners worry about stability? When we run we are constantly challenging our balance. Running is basically jumping from one leg to another, so while running you are constantly balancing on one leg and adapting to the changing ground conditions (e.g. uneven ground, leaves/rocks, stairs, pets).
What fun and helpful tips will the 261 Fearless Toronto Club do at this evenings run meet? You'll have to meet us at 6pm in Ramsden Park to fun out. Coach Julie has a fun session planned out for us all. Hope to see you there.
