Running Series Video 9: Posture for Runners

Good posture is essential for runners because it helps maintain proper alignment, reduces the risk of injury, and improves running efficiency. When you run with an upright posture, you engage your core muscles, reduce strain on your joints, and enhance breathing capacity, allowing for smoother, more energy-efficient strides. Poor posture, on the other hand, can lead to overuse injuries, fatigue, and inefficient movement patterns, making it harder to perform at your best.

In this video, Athletic Therapist Sarah Black demonstrates 3 exercises to improve your posture for running:

T-Spine Extensions

Chin Tucks

Thoracic Uprighting in Prone
