Running Tip Tuesday

One of the most difficult things for a beginner and experienced runner is how to run fast AND relaxed. Here are some tips on how to keep your body relaxed.

Perform the hands on head drill. Start by interlocking your hands on your head. Focus on keeping your core solid and straight while keeping the hips and shoulders level and relaxed. Start jogging, I know I know you will feel ridiculous...but this drill will help eliminate any left to right movement through the hips and cross-crossing and side to side arm carriage. 

Runners tend to carry their stress in their upper body, which creates a side to side shuffle later causing hip/knee issues. Your arms are what drive your engine! Be relaxed and enjoy the run!
