Transform your running through yoga.
Would you like to run further and faster? Want to find the perfect runner's flow?
Yoga is the key to unlocking your running potential. Practised by the world's leading endurance athletes, yoga builds strength, improves flexibility and boosts recovery.
Running is your release, fresh-air blast, endorphin hit and headspace time. A good run can provide the clear-as-day solution to a stubborn problem or allow creative ideas to drift to the surface. Running makes us feel alive and we want to run when we like, for as long as we like – simple. Introducing yoga to your training plan will help you do this. It will ease tight muscles, help correct imbalances and reduce the chances of injury, which is why yoga is now an integral part of the training plans of so many runners.
But the benefits go beyond simple stretching. Yoga’s balancing techniques bolster your foot muscles; posture work will ensure you ‘run tall’ with a strong core; and breathing exercises act like a metronome by maintaining pace and diverting a doubtful mind on race day.
Fully revised and featuring step-by-step exercises and workouts, the bestselling Yoga for Runners shows you how to:
- release running tight spots, like the hamstrings and hip flexors - run taller with focused core exercises - strengthen weak muscles through power yoga moves - prevent injury with recovery techniques - breathe more deeply and sharpen your mind
Suitable for runners of all levels, this is your essential training companion for strong and smooth running.
