Core Power Hour
Yoga for Your Marathon: Part 2
By Sadie Nardini
The 12-MINUTE Magic Core Sequence for Runners [or Anyone] to Build Stamina, Become More Efficient, and Gain Flexible Strength!
The Point:
Running and then cooling down without proper stretching can leave your
body contracted, or tight. This means that the next time you run,
you’re spending a good part of it trying to re-open those muscles, just
to get back to neutral.
This wastes your time: instead of progressing forward in your range of
motion, building the “long and strong” muscles of star athletes, you’re
reinforcing the restrictive, and often injury-prone body that comes
from muscles that are ”short and strong”.
In this second part of the Marathon Yoga series, you’ll take your
stretches to a whole new level. Stretching is great for tension
release, but the real payoff comes when you start to break old habits,
and re-shape your muscles on a deep level, and return them to their
full range of motion and tip-top tone. We’ll go deeper, to release more
than just today’s run…now we’re getting into limiting patterns and
tightness created from last week’s, last months, and even last year’s!
In Marathon Yoga Part Two, you’ll learn:
Inner Thigh and Shoulder Wonder Stretch
Chest and Hamstring Opener
The Magic Pose Quad Deepener
Magic Pose with a Twist
1/2 Wide Angle Leg Opener
1/2 Wide Angle Inner Thigh Release
Full Wide Angle plus Resistance
Leg Reset
IT Band Twist
