“At times, our strengths propel us so far forward we can no longer endure our weaknesses and perish from them.”
-Friedrich Nietzsche
You must have more than strong legs to complete a race. A strong core and strong upper body is a must. As your legs tire, you will need to utilize your back, abs, arms and shoulders to propel you to the finish line. By strengthening your entire body you will also dramatically reduce your risk of injury. Many common running injuries such as shin splints, tendonitis, runners knee, ITB issues and lower back problems, can be avoided and reduced by enhancing your running program with strength training and conditioning.
