Running is amazing and trains your body in a number of ways, yet it can also lead to some chronic issues or overuse injuries. Yoga is perfect for runners because it counterbalances your training, makes you run better and faster, supports your recovery, and makes you feel good.
What does running do to your body?
Muscles engaged by running
When you run, your quads, glutes, hamstrings, tensor fasciae latae (TFL), iliotibial (IT) band, calf muscles and foot flexors propel you forward and stabilize your body, while core muscles hold your posture. And while all these muscles work hard, they only move in a limited range of motion.
There’s one more hard-working yet hidden muscle – the psoas. It’s a strong muscle running from your lumbar spine, through your pelvis all the way to the upper part of your inner thigh bone. Every time you lift your knee, the psoas contracts and every time your leg swings back, the psoas lengthens. A tight psoas can cause all sorts of issues, such as the back, hip or groin pain, and can even tilt your pelvis out of alignment.
While all the above muscles get an intense workout during a run, your chest, upper back, shoulders and arms don’t have to work very hard. Their movement is also helped by the dynamics of the running motion.
Running motion and impacts
Running involves repetitive motion, and repetitive landing impacts that your bones, joints, muscles and tendons have to cushion. As a result, some muscles and tendons get tighter and if you don’t stretch properly, the tightness can eventually limit your range of motion. That, in turn, can shorten your stride which might have a knock-on effect on your running technique.
Some muscles are hard to access through conventional stretching so you need to be smart about it. At the same time, the less-worked muscles need strengthening and conditioning so your body is balanced and on top form, making you run faster. But to be honest, it’s not just about running well and fast, it’s also about preventing injuries.
Yoga, along with correct running technique and a reasonable training plan, can help prevent a number of common runner issues, such as runner’s knee, IT band syndrome, Achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, hamstring injuries, and others.
How can yoga help runners?
Around 80% of running injuries happen because of repetitive stress – overuse and bad running technique. However, improving your running technique is not the only thing that matters in injury prevention. It’s also about how you complement your running and if you let your body recover properly between runs.
Yoga is an excellent running companion because it counterbalances your running training – it offers a sophisticated stretching, strengthening and grounding system. All those muscles that running tends to overwork can regain their length with yoga. \At the same time, all the somewhat neglected muscles get stronger – overall, yoga gives you greater mobility, removes tight muscle limitations, and allows for better recovery.
Yoga helps to bring more blood into all your muscles and joints – lubricating and nourishing them. That is one of the reasons why it helps you recover faster. Another reason is that it reduces your stress hormone levels and that in turn makes recovery more efficient. Lastly, it helps the body break down lactic acid post-training.
