Cross-Training For Trail Runners
Roads, for the most part, are steady and predictable. Trails are not.
FLEXIBILITY
Having full range of motion decreases injury risk: add these groin stretches to their post-run routine.
Groin Stretches
The groin gets ignored by most road runners.
How?
Stretch 1:
- Sit with the soles of your feet together.
- Press your knees towards the floor.
- Hold for 30 seconds.
Stretch 2:
- From a wide-legged standing position, move into a side lunge (shown right).
- Hold each side for 30 seconds.
