Glute Weakness and Running Injuries
Weak glutes often contribute to common running injuries, such as runner’s knee, IT band syndrome, and Achilles tendinopathy.
Strong glutes are essential for strong running, powering your stride, improving your form, and propelling you forward.
The single-leg stance test is a simple screen of balance, stability, and neuromuscular control.
This test, as described by UESCA-certified run coach and NASM-certified personal trainer Alison Marie Helms, helps identify weaknesses and unlock a path to better running.
By strengthening your glutes, you can address the missing link to strong and healthy running, making your stride stronger and more efficient.
