Yoga for Runners [PDF ebook]

‘A fantastic new book’ Running Fitness Yoga for Runners uses yoga postures to both stretch and lengthen those short, tight running hotspots in a way that is time-efficient and highly targeted.Running is a fantastic cardiovascular workout that floods the body with ‘feel good’ endorphins and many runners find its rhythmic, repetitive nature a natural stress reliever and maybe even meditative. The downside of repetitive motion, however, is that it taxes a few select groups of muscles (hamstrings, quadriceps, hip flexors and Achilles) and neglects the remainder. This leads to muscular imbalances and, eventually, injury.This practical book full of step-by-step photos addresses these imbalances by using yoga postures to both stretch and lengthen these short, tight running hotspots in a way that is time-efficient and highly targeted.Like yoga it’s a union of all these physical and mental aspects that affect the performance of the runner as a whole. Practice the techniques together to become a stronger, smoother runner who is less prone to injury. Breathe deeper and more efficiently to train for longer. Gain a clear head to tackle negative distractions as you train or race, and in life generally.
