Become a more efficient and injury-resistant runner with our 12-part Yoga for Runners Flexibility Program with Bruce Chung. If you’re searching for a simple way to become more flexible and improve your running, then this program is for you.
Not only will it increase flexibility and range of motion, it will also help you with the following:
Run more efficiently
Recover quicker after runs
Relieve running aches and pains
Minimise injuries
Run faster
Flexibility training is perhaps the most undervalued component of conditioning. When runners take on a training program, they tend to focus on building endurance and speed, but improving their flexibility never seems to make it into the game plan.
Yet, a lack of flexibility leads to dysfunctional running postures that contribute, or even cause, common running injuries such as knee problems, shin splints, tendonitis, plantar fasciitis and more.
One thing any runner will tell you is that although running is rewarding, it isn’t completely injury free. Injuries from running are so common that one study reported that nearly 79% of runners are injured every year. No matter how much you invest on a good pair of running shoes, running gear and the perfect running app to ensure you reach your goal safely, injury in most cases is inevitable.
We can add a layer of safety to our training by working on our flexibility. Our Yoga for Runners Flexibility Program was designed this program specifically with runners in mind, to help bring more space into the muscles and range of motion into the joints, which will help improve performance and minimise the risk of injury.
What’s included?
This program can be used as a yoga flexibility “toolkit” for runners, because each of the classes have a specific focus. You can use them individually, but at the same time combine them to suit whatever your body is feeling at any given time.
With each class being only 15 minutes long, you can easily fit them around your busy schedule.
