Common Muscular weaknesses in runners

I find the most common weaknesses in runners are 2 main muscles. Glute med and VMO

The gluteus medius (glute med)

The gluteus medius (glute med) is a deep, fan-shaped muscle located on the side of the hip, extending from the pelvis to the femur. It's crucial for hip stability, especially during single-leg stance like walking, running, and standing. Weakness in the glute med can lead to various issues, including pelvic instability, lower back pain, and knee problems. strengthening this muscle is extremely important for all runners.

onto The 2nd most important muscle to strengthen for all runners.

Vastus Medialis Oblique

this muscle is located on the inside of the thigh, above the kneecap, and is part of the quadriceps muscle group. It plays a crucial role in knee stability, particularly in controlling the movement of the kneecap (patella) and preventing injury. 

A fantastic exercise to strengthen both these muscles together is a Bulgarian split squat.

The Bulgarian split squat

The Bulgarian split squat is a unilateral exercise where one leg is elevated on a bench or a similar platform behind the body, while the other leg performs a squatting motion. It's a challenging exercise that targets the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes, while also improving balance and core strength.

Try this exercise out and you'll get fantastic results. If you're still having issues with these muscles and need assistance. Remedial massage is a fantastic tool to take out the tension and improve function in the whole leg getting you ready for tuggeranong parkrun.

Remember, if you’re in areas like Tuggeranong, woden valley or queanbeyan region. You don’t have to worry about paying the extra travel fee that North Canberra has to pay. I Just thought to mention it as an added perk of being local.

Enough from me. Thanks for reading.
