Running makes you a better runner…👇 but strength training helps you become a faster one. Too many young runners think the answer is always more miles. The truth is, stronger athletes move more efficiently, generate more power, and stay healthier throughout the season. 1️⃣ Build power. Exercises like squats help you produce more force with every stride. 2️⃣ Improve running form. A stronger body is better at maintaining good mechanics when fatigue sets in. 3️⃣ Reduce injuries. Strength training builds muscles, tendons, and joints that can handle the demands of training. Don’t just train harder. Train smarter by making strength part of your routine. Run like a girl!
