I think it’s SO important to complement your running with some type of strength training. It can help to strengthen and protect your muscles, particularly the ones surrounding your knee and hips, to help you run faster and more safely. It’s very common for runners to get injured during training because they push it too hard and don’t train efficiently. It’s very easy to overtrain, especially with the myriad of “training plans” that are out there.
When a good friend reached out about getting injured during her beginner’s half marathon plan, I took a look at it for probably 3 seconds before saying,Of course, if you’re used to running and do it daily, it’s NBD to slowly increase mileage and keep running almost every day.
When you’re a beginning runner, you need to be strategic about how often you’re running in addition to strength training or cross training to prevent injury and improve strength. Please keep in mind that I’m NOT a running coach. I’m a certified personal trainer and weight loss specialist who has run a handful of half marathons. Some of them were great, some of them were roadkill. If you need a specific training plans for your needs, please reach out to a running coach near you, or hit up my friends
