Running should not be painful or frustrating
Even if you increase your mileage or have a history of running injuries
There are 4 components every runner needs to be doing outside of running to run pain free, feel stronger and get faster, and unfortunately most runners are missing these steps and therefore stuck in the injury cycle or just not seeing progress during your runs.
Combining running specific exercises and movement patterns with these 4 components: Mobility, Stability, Strength and Power will allow you to run pain free, feel stronger and run faster
Most Runners Don't Rehab Or Strength Train with Running Specific Exercises
Unfortunately most Physical Therapy exercises and strength workouts aren't specific for running. Instead, they consist of popular exercises that don't necessarily move the needle towards your goals.
If you've been in physical therapy before, you may have received exercises such as leg raises, bridges, squats, side steps and clamshells. I know, I've worked in those clinics.
If you are trying to get out of pain or get stronger, you need exercises that are specific to running.
Without running specific exercises, injuries just keep popping up as you increase your mileage and that causes a lot of frustration.
Combining mobility, stability, strength and power exercises that are specific to running will allow you to stop having discomfort or pain during your runs and start running with more power, speed, and efficiency.
Running Specific Exercises Get You Out Of Pain
If you are running with pain or discomfort, you need more than 2 weeks of rest, orthotics, new shoes, stretching, or random exercises you find online.
While these things can help, they don't fix the source of the pain and the therefore the pain will never go away.
Running specific exercises are the most valuable thing you can do to decrease your pain when running.
Your body will get stronger and more mobile, allowing your body improve the distribution of forces, reduce overuse load to the injured site and improve your running form.
And it doesn't have to require seeing a Physical Therapist- just a couple times a week going through your exercises at home to feel like this:
"Your programs have not only helped me with my plantar fasciitis and my knee pain, but I was able to complete my first 5k in over 4 years without pain! Thank you so much for taking the time to put the exercises together" -Lauren
Running Specific Exercises Improve Your Strength and Prevent Injuries
Smart runners prioritize strength training.
The injury rate for runners is about 80% each year. If you aren't injured, you should be working on injury prevention through strength training that includes running specific movement patterns.
A common cause for running related injuries are muscle imbalances causing compensations, which places more force or load through certain parts of the body.
If you are too dominant in certain muscle groups, your body will compensate during dynamic movements such as running, which increases your risk for injury.
Balancing out any muscle imbalances or compensations during strength training will allow you to run with a more efficient running form and less injuries.
Running Specific Exercises Make You Faster
More fast twist muscle recruitment= more power and more speed
If you want to get faster, you have to improve your power output.
This looks like power moves and plyometrics outside of running.
Running easy for majority of your runs and speed workouts are important, but if your muscles don't have enough fast twitch muscle fibers, it's going to be very difficult to buidl speed.
Utilizing running specific power exercises will teach your body to move quickly under a load, which therefore allows you to run faster with less effort.
And you just might hit a PR this year!

Hi there! I'm Lisa
Since 2018, I've been working intimately with thousands of runners.
Ever since my first job as a physical therapist, I have been helping runners rehab their injuries and run smarter as they meet their running goals.
I've had the opportunity to be featured in Runners World, Womens Health Magazine, Huffpost, and was Superfeet Insoles wellness expert in 2022.
And through it all, I've discovered the subtle nuances that make a big difference in the success of runners who thrive vs. those who are constantly dealing with injuries.
