| |  |  |  | As a runner, you’re pretty gutsy, toughing it out even when you flat-out have nothing left to give. Nothing compares to a runner’s perseverance and determination. But all that physical and mental grit, high threshold for pain, repeated pounding, and repetitive motion can take their toll.
That’s why the editors at Runner’s World are excited to bring you our first-ever Runner’s World Yoga for Runners!
Yoga for Runners will help take your running to the next level. And who better to take you through the moves than world-class yoga trainer and marathon runner Rebecca Pacheco — a Runner’s World fan favorite!
Yoga does things for runners no other training can.
Yoga’s strong, fluid motions open up tight hip flexors, increase the range of motion and mobility in your joints, and correct strong-weak leg muscle imbalances that lead to IT band pain, runner’s knee, shin splints, plantar fasciitis, and other running injuries.
As you bend, stretch, and flex, you’ll boost circulation, sending nutrient-rich blood to damaged muscles, speeding their repair so if you do get sidelined, you’ll get back on track faster. Tight, weak trouble spots disappear, joints become more stable, muscles get stronger and leaner, and you can become faster and more limber — and ready to conquer your next training session! | | Head to toe, yoga helps runners develop greater stability, flexibility, and fitness — and the mental focus needed to power through every run and race. |  | | | | Research shows how yoga can improve your running. |
University researchers at one school of nursing published a comparative analysis of 81 studies that examined yoga’s health benefits and the health benefits of aerobic exercise.
As expected, yoga was found to be particularly effective at reducing stress, but researchers discovered something surprising: Yoga outperformed aerobic exercise at improving balance, flexibility, strength, and daily energy levels.
|  | |  | |  | | TAKE YOUR RUNNING TO THE NEXT LEVEL! Flex, bend, and stretch your way to faster recovery and a new PR! | | Yoga for Runners is the perfect active recovery activity on your rest day and is ideal for after hard workouts — long runs, hills, intervals, and even speed days. Use it to cool down, stretch and strengthen, cross-train, or unwind when you are wound up. | | If you love to run, you’re going to love what yoga can do for your running! |  |  | | |
