Hey Running Friends!

Today's episode is a Q and A session, where I explain how to make your strength training more efficient. This isn't a "how to" with loads of exercises to try, but it goes into a bit of our muscles and an assessment we can try with a personal trainer (even if it's just one session) to see if there are more specific muscles that we use for running that need our attention.

Resources:
Strength Running Blog - good, reputable resource for runners in regards to strength training
Runtastic article on how to do the overhead squat assessment for yourself, and exercises to help with what you find.
Axiom is the YouTube channel I am relying on to help me study for the CPT exam. This is a long video about the overhead squat assessment, but it's a good one and also goes into overactive and underactive muscles to give you a better understanding of what I am talking about.
