👟 Here a few quick things to keep in mind before your next big run🏃

(if you’re a plant-based runner, join my private fb group below)

 

At least 1 set per exercise or leg, feel free to do 2-3 sets though!

Single Leg Balance
1-minute / leg

Single Leg Balance with Heel Raise
(just standing on one leg and moving slowly up onto your tippy toes and slowly back down)
3-10 reps each, 6 second up and 6 second down
**only do a couple of these if they’re very challenging**

Single Leg Balance
Balance on something unstable, such as a rolled-up shirt, a towel, etc.
1-minute / leg

Towel Pull
3-5 x per foot lay a towel/shirt down flat and put a weight or something heavy on one side and pull it towards you with your toes.

Tippy Toe Walk
1 minute

Heavy Farmer Carry

Example

2-5 x 10-30 second carries, preferably barefoot.

Supinated Reverse Lunges or Supinated Squats
Example
Your front leg that remains in place is in a slanted position with the high point at your midline and it goes down as it goes away from your body. You could even, while wearing shoes, stand with a book halfway under your shoe so the inside of your foot is raise above the outside (aka it’s supinated).
8-15 reps in 2-5 sets
