Running is an individual and complex task that comprises three main
factors; cardiovascular fitness, strength/capacity and motor skill.
Cardiovascular endurance is important in both short distance and long
distance running.
Strength is an important component of running and various major muscle
groups have high loads that they need to withstand as running speed
increases
The high demands of hip flexors, hamstrings and glute max as running
speed increases to sprinting
The importance of soleus in the calf complex for all speeds of running
Exercise selection can be used to help target muscle groups to get the
most out of your strength training
Motor skill is important in coordinating the way you run
Video analysis is great way to measure and observe motor skill and can
be carried out to help understand whether your running gait may be
affecting your performance or injury
