Welcome to Day 1 of the Run Like A Woman challenge!
So on to Day 1!
DAY 1: TO RUN BETTER YOU NEED TO MOVE BETTER
Most people don’t think about how their bodies move until something hurts.
But WHAT you want your body to do and HOW you do it makes a huge difference in how you feel and what your training needs to look like.
Movement quality and movement control is the first step you need to decrease pain and start to feel better running.
It’s something I worked on with every single patient in the clinic, no matter what problem they came in with.
Today, it's all about MOVING WITH INTENTION.
You have to prepare your body for WHAT you want it to do before you do it, which is why we need to implement a warmup before every run or workout.
As we get older and our hormones shift, our tissues start to change as well. They are not as flexible, lubricated, and pliable as they once were.
So if you just head out on a run, you’re putting yourself at a higher risk for pain and injury.
That’s why your day 1 action item is to add a DYNAMIC WARMUP before every run or workout.
It doesn’t have to be long or involved, just a few minutes of intentional movement to get your body ready to go.
