This often results in injury – weak glutes are a large contributor for injuries down the chain, including runner’s knee, plantar fasciitis, achilles tendonitis, and Iliotibial Band Syndrome. The […]
What Runners Should Know About Sitting
We hope you enjoyed our recent post about the dream team of running and Pilates. Mindful movement like Pilates can be such a break from all the mindless stuff we do as well – such as sitting. It is worth emphasizing that we sit a whole lot more than we used to. Some of that […]
Pilates for Runners
If the first thing that comes to mind when you hear Pilates is “ab workout”, think again. As Joe Pilates put it, Pilates is complete coordination of the body and mind. So while a couple sit-ups may be in your next Pilates mat workout, the way you approach the movement and your bodily awareness could […]
