Not all running advice is bad…
but too much advice at once is a problem 🧠💥

When you’re told to fix your foot, knee, hip, posture, cadence, and arm swing
👉 at the same time
you don’t improve...you freeze.

That’s paralysis by analysis.

Real progress comes from:
✅ one focus at a time
✅ clear intention for each session
✅ letting changes become automatic before adding more

Whether the goal is less pain, better performance, or both,
simplicity wins, especially long-term.

You shouldn’t feel confused or frustrated every time you run.
You should feel like you’re making real, repeatable progress.

Stretching can be useful, but it is rarely the whole answer. Many runners focus on quick stretches without also building strength, control, and steady breathing into their routine. Long term progress usually comes from small, consistent habits that support balance rather than forcing flexibility.

When strength and mobility work together, movement feels smoother and more reliable over time. Understanding when to stretch, when to strengthen, and how to pace your efforts can make a meaningful difference in how your body responds to training.

Cues work… until fatigue shows up 🧠➡️💥

You can clean up your form for a minute or two on a treadmill.
But mile 6 of a 10K?
Mile 20 of a marathon?

If you don’t have the strength, stability, and control,
those cues fall apart fast.

That’s why form cues without capacity lead to:
⚠️ compensations
⚠️ breakdown under load
⚠️ recurring pain or injury

Real change doesn’t start with “run like this.”
It starts with building a body that can handle the demand—
especially when you’re tired.

If you’ve been trying to “fix your form” but nothing’s sticking,
this might be why.

This looks simple… and that’s exactly why it works.
Marching drills expose what running hides 👀

✔️ Side-to-side pelvic control
✔️ Single-leg stability under fatigue
✔️ Asymmetries you didn’t know you had

Most athletes think, “It’s just marching.”
Then we pause.
Then we load it.
And suddenly the weak side can’t hide anymore.

Master this unweighted first.
Then progress to suitcase, front rack, or waiter carries to challenge true control.
Your performance (and injury resistance) depends on it.

Honest answers only 👀
When you do glute work… where do you actually feel it?

Back?
Glutes?
Both?

There’s no judgment here, this is about awareness.

If glute exercises consistently show up in your low back, a few things are usually happening:
• You’re arching through the spine
• The pelvis is dropping or shifting
• The torso is leaning to “cheat” the movement

Those compensations take work away from the glutes and push stress straight into the lower back.

Glute work should:
✅ Load the glutes
✅ Stabilize the pelvis
✅ Protect the spine

Not leave your back feeling cooked.

The first step to fixing this isn’t changing exercises...
it’s recognizing where your body is borrowing from.

You’re not broken.
You’re not weak.
You just need better control and positioning.

And trust me, you’re not alone in this.

Your back often isn’t the problem… it’s the backup plan 🚨

If you’re a runner, cyclist, or endurance athlete dealing with back tightness after training, this matters.

Your back usually steps in when your hips and legs aren’t doing their job.

Propulsion should come from triple extension:
➡️ ankle
➡️ knee
➡️ hip

All working together to absorb force and drive you forward.

What I often see instead 👇
• Limited hip extension
• Weak or underperforming glutes
• Poor pelvic control
• Athletes “breaking” at the hip instead of pushing through it

When that happens:
❌ Force isn’t absorbed well
❌ Energy leaks increase
❌ Extra load travels straight into the spine

Your core and low back should transfer force, not create it.

If your back is doing the work of your glutes, it’s not because your back is weak —
it’s because it’s compensating.

That’s when back tightness, stiffness, and pain show up after runs, rides, or long sessions.

👇 Be honest, how does your back feel after training?
💬 Tight
💬 Stiff
💬 Achy
💬 Fine… for now

If glute work always hits your low back… watch this first 🚨

If every “glute exercise” leaves you feeling it in your spine, your body is telling you something.

This glute extension iso-hold is a simple way to:
✅ Wake up your glutes
✅ Learn where you should be feeling glute work
✅ Protect your low back during strength training

How it works 👇
• Tall posture, ribs down, abs lightly engaged
• Pelvis stays neutral (no arching, no tucking)
• Push your foot into a wall or step
• Hold and feel for glute activation, not your spine or hamstrings

If you feel it creeping into your low back or hamstring?
That’s your cue to reset....not push harder.

This is a perfect:
🏃 Warm-up before lifting or running
🛠️ Reset if glute work keeps irritating your back
🧠 Awareness drill before higher-level strength exercises

Master this first…
Then earn your way into heavier, more intense glute work without back pain.

👇 Try this and tell me — where do you feel it first?
💬 Glute
💬 Hamstring
💬 Low back

Here’s when stability actually becomes a problem 👀

We’ve talked all week about pelvic position, core control, and stability.
But here’s the truth 👇
Stability usually doesn’t fail when you’re fresh.

It shows up when:
• You’ve had a long, stressful work week
• Training load is stacking up
• Fatigue starts to creep in

And it shows itself most clearly during 👇
🏃♂️ Speed work – exposes control issues fast
⛰️ Hill training – uphill and downhill
🚴 Long runs & long rides – when form slowly breaks down

This is why so many athletes say:
“I feel fine… until I don’t.”

Those aches, tightness, and discomfort that pop up late?
That’s often pelvic and core control fading under fatigue, not just “getting older” or “bad luck.”

And here’s the key 👉
These sessions aren’t the problem...they’re the mirror showing you where work needs to be done.

👇 Which one hits you the hardest?
💬 Speed work
💬 Hills
💬 Long runs or rides

Drop it in the comments and we’ll tailor future content to that exact issue

Colder months often mean less movement, more time indoors, and subtle stiffness that builds without you noticing. As the seasons shift and training picks back up, it is important to ease in with steady, consistent habits rather than jumping straight into high intensity efforts.

Reintroducing simple strength work, light mobility, and gradual mileage increases helps your body adapt without unnecessary strain. Small, proactive steps now can make spring training feel smoother and more sustainable. Consistency builds resilience and keeps your running on track.

Most injuries don’t happen all at once.
⚠️ They happen when control fades… and reps pile up.

In running and cycling, breakdown usually doesn’t come from one bad step.
It comes from repetition + fatigue + loss of pelvic control.

When we look at frontal plane mechanics (side-to-side pelvic stability), this is where problems often start.

Here’s what happens when the pelvis starts dropping or swaying 👇
❌ Extra motion at the spine to keep the head upright
❌ Increased load on vertebral discs
❌ Hip joint compression and groin pinching
❌ Knee collapsing “down and in”
❌ Muscles taking over that weren’t designed for the job

Over time, that leads to:
• Hamstring tightness or tendinopathy
• Low back pain during or after training
• Hip and groin symptoms
• Earlier fatigue and reduced efficiency

And the key thing to understand 👇
This breakdown usually shows up late in runs, rides, and races, when fatigue sets in...not at the start.

That’s why pelvic control and endurance-based stability work matters just as much as strength.

If rotation sneaks in when you hinge…
🧠 Your hips and pelvis are losing the conversation.

The split-stance hip hinge is one of the best ways to expose pelvic control issues....fast.

Similar to a Bulgarian split squat, putting the back foot on a bench (or wall) immediately challenges your ability to control:
• Pelvic rotation
• Pelvic drop
• Side-to-side sway
• Spine positioning

What usually shows up when control is lacking 👇
❌ Arching through the low back to “lock” the spine
❌ Excessive hamstring dominance pulling into posterior pelvic tilt
❌ Shifting or dumping into one hip
❌ Rotation as you hinge forward

When done correctly, this exercise teaches you to:
✅ Hinge from the hips (not the spine)
✅ Maintain a flat, controlled torso
✅ Keep the pelvis level and quiet
✅ Build real-world core + glute stability

Pro tip:
Hold the weight on the opposite side of the stance leg.
That offset load forces you to resist pelvic drop and rotation...exactly what you need for running, cycling, and lifting efficiency.

This isn’t just strength work.
This is body awareness training that carries over to performance and injury prevention.

Most athletes feel fine…
Until they don’t. 😬

You can feel great early in a run or ride 🏃🚴
Maybe a little stiff at first… then loosen up…
But later?
That’s when the aches creep back in.

Yes, fatigue is normal.
But form falling apart isn’t inevitable.

As we’ve talked about the last few days 👇
When pelvic stability and control fade:
⚠️ Stress shifts to muscles that aren’t meant to carry it
⚠️ Joints and connective tissue take extra load
⚠️ Form breaks down
⚠️ Overuse injuries slowly build in the background

That’s why so many athletes deal with:
❌ Pain that comes back late in runs
❌ Issues that last weeks… months… or years
❌ “It’s fine most of the time” injuries

One of the biggest game-changers?
🧠 Awareness + intention in training

Paying attention to:
• How each step feels
• What changes as fatigue sets in
• When form starts to slip
• When adjustments need to be made

That’s how we prevent breakdown.
That’s how we stay consistent.
That’s how we keep doing what we love at a high level.
