Ep 31: Mastering Hip Mechanics

Master your hip mechanics to run longer, faster and minimize injuries
Ep 31: Mastering Hip Mechanics

At Run Mechanics, we have analyzed more than 200 runners and almost 95% of them had weak hips. This could be pelvic drop, pelvic tilt, hip rotation, etc. Whether one is a seasoned marathoner or just starting out on their running journey, the strength and mobility of your hips can make or break your performance.

Poor hip mechanics manifest in more ways than one while running - weak glutes resulting in un-optimal stride, extreme fatigue in lower legs, unstable pelvis, and pelvic drop, and a whole host of injuries.
