Ep 125: If you've ever wondered why running leaves your knees, hips, or calves feeling sore—or why running just doesn't feel as smooth as you'd like—this episode is for you.

Today, I'm breaking down what your body is actually being asked to do with every stride and the specific strength, stability, mobility, and power qualities that help running feel stronger, more efficient, and more enjoyable.

We'll cover:

  • Single-leg stability
  • Hip mobility
  • Hip extension strength and power
  • Push-off mechanics
  • The role of your glutes, deep hip rotators, adductors, calves, and Achilles tendon
  • The best strength exercises to improve your running

By the end of this episode, you'll understand exactly what to strengthen, why it matters, and how to build a body that's better prepared to run.
