Mom on the Run

Strengthening – It’s half the game *videos*

Fitness, Fitness related, Marathons - Anupriya kapur - February 10, 2016

I think it was August last year when I attended a clinic by Dr Rajat Chauhan who’s a renowned sports doctor and also the race director for La Ultra in Ladakh. Since he is one hell of a runner himself (his PB for full marathon being 2:38), I paid a lot of attention to all the things he said. He kept reiterating the basics which we tend to ignore in pursuit of clocking more mileage. At that time, I used to feel as if my legs are very heavy, as if some weight is tied to them, making running a task rather than fun. He advised me to strengthen my leg muscles and do planks regularly in order to run injury free in the long run. And well, it worked. I made a couple of videos with him and would work on more to demonstrate the simple strengthening exercises and stretches he swears by.

    Very informative. Should these stretches be done before or after running?
