Why Most Runners Hamstrings Are in Dysfunction

from #RunPainFree Podcast · host Jessica Marie Rose Leggio

Why Most Runners Have Weak Dysfunctional Hamstrings Are your hamstrings doing the job of the glutes? Like many things, I have come to find out the ROOT of the cause for many runners hamstring injuries. The reason is, runners never build their glutes; they are trained to lift with the quad and keep the hamstring long. An example of this is why when you squat, and your foot turns out, is a sign your hip is off and not supported by mass, indicating bad form if your feet/foot turns out! Joint range compared to stability (muscle mass) has to be balanced, or you're at high risk for injury. This action is why a dancer's body is as dysfunctional mechanically as a human. A complete opposite example of this is a football player, a lot more mass compared to flexibility/range = high risk for injury. Runners are taught to PUMP (build) the hamstring, and build quads, even though the running community agrees the glutes are the most important, the lack of education here results in pushing the hammies to overfire disallows the glutes to fire, which then leads to the hamstrings not doing their job and taking on the responsibility of the glutes.
