Because we have so many associates running marathons and half marathons in the next few months I thought it would be beneficial to post this article about the benefits of strength training for runners. It does a nice job of explaining the benefits while giving tangible direction in a concise manner. I would also encourage you to talk to the personal trainers at your property for additional help. I can tell you first hand you will definitely see the benefits of functional strength training in your running, especially in the "go" muscles - the glutes and hip flexors. Do it.
