In the last few months, the number of runners and triathletes working with me has gone up. They come to me to work on their biomechanics and strength.
It is a real joy to see the work we do in the gym have a positive effect on their training to reach their race goals.
There are a few common exercises I have given my clients after I have screened them, and I thought I would share them here with you.
To help with movement, I often give these exercises to my clients (please don’t do any of these if you feel pain):
4 sign
Sitting on a chair with one leg over the other, as in the picture. Push your leg up and stop it with your hand. Press with 20% effort and hold for 20 seconds, then relax. Do this 4 times on each side (if you are not sure what 20% is push with 100%, half to 50%, half to 25% and then take a bit more pressure off)
Leg rolls
Lie on your back, knees bent, feet flat on the floor. Keep your knees together and the insides of your feet together, and bring your knees to the side. Only go as far as you can keep your shoulder blades on the ground. Return to the start position and then do the same on the other side. Do 12 on each side
