This blog is the fifth in a series where our National Fitness Director, Olympian Carrie Tollefson, brings tips for injury prevention and strength training to help improve our running performance. Today, Carrie shares a simple but great strength exercise: squats. #trainingtiptuesday
“Squats are a great exercise to build strength and help propel us going forward during those long runs, short sprints, and on the hills," explains Carrie Tollefson. "In addition, with proper form, squats help build muscle to protect our knees and keep us healthy.” Click below to watch Carrie demonstrate proper form. This race is a chocolate lover's dream!

This blog is the fourth in a series where our National Fitness Director, Olympian Carrie Tollefson, brings tips for injury prevention and strength training to help improve our running performance. Today Carrie shares a simple but great rehab exercise. #trainingtiptuesday
Our ankles are what I call our anchors, and if our anchor doesn't keep us up right then what will? I know this is really old school but it works. After sprains and surgery, physical therapists, doctors, and coaches have had me follow this simple exercise: drawing ABCs in the air. I have kept it in my routine of "rehab" ever since. I hope you find some benefit to keeping your ankles healthy, strong, and able to sustain all of the walking and running we do at MOTR! |
