Tightness at the front of the hip is one of the most common things runners mention to me as a physiotherapist. The standard reflex runners (and most individuals) have is almost always the same: “I need to stretch this out more”. The trouble is, for a lot of runners, stretching never quite solves it. In this blog post, I’ll explain why stretching isn’t always the answer and what to do instead.

If you've been told that runners should only do high reps with light weights to avoid "getting bulky" or "slowing down," it's time to rethink that advice.

This myth has been circulating in the running community for years. Unfortunately, it's holding a lot of runners back from getting stronger, faster, and more resilient. The truth? Heavy strength training is not only safe for runners, but it's also essential.

The role of strength training is starting to take more and more space within the running community. However, there are still a lot of misconceptions regarding this topic.

Find out WHY we should include strength training in our running training in this article. Once we understand what this can do for our bodies, we’ll be more inclined to make it a habit.
