Running on Carbs Podcast

Improve running form and decrease pain with upper body strength training

Is your cellphone ruining your running form? Headache after a run? Stiff neck or sore shoulders? It could be undertrained muscles.
Do you find yourself
Looking down while running
Tensing your shoulders
Crossing one arm over your body
Constantly bent forward over a phone or computer can cause neck, shoulder and back compensations that lead to poor form while running and eventually…PAIN!
This week, on the Running on Carbs Podcast, Coach Val lays out a 5 exercise beginner strength plan to help strengthen the muscles that can lead to poor upper body motor control and may be affecting your running form.
Say bye-bye to achy shoulders and HELLO sexy shoulders after this episode!
