Race & Events

Strength training is so important for runners, and yet, most of us tend to forget about it and focus on what we like to do… which is running. The stronger you are, the faster you’ll run, and the better you will get at uphill/downhill, trail and mountain running. It also helps preventing injuries by getting all of your body muscles stronger, and not just those legs! We have selected for you some of our go to exercises for trail runners and included video links to videos which explain how to do each one.

We were talking about it on social media a few days ago, our new challenge organised with our charity partner Jigsaw is only a few days away. It will take place for 5 days, from February 17^th until 21^st.
