Most runners don’t think that much about training their backs. But your back muscles are the part of your body which holds everything together. A natural spine with good posture will ensure that your centre of gravity stays over your feet, which helps reduce injuries. Thus the better your posture, the better runner you’ll be.
► Warm up
Jog on the spot for one minute. Swing your leg 10 times from side to side and then forwards and backwards to mobilise your hips. Extend your arms sideways and rotate your body from side to side 10 times. Repeat all the exercises twice before starting your workout.
