As a runner, you may focus on training your legs, core, and cardiovascular system to improve your performance. But have you considered the critical role that your glutes play in running? Strong glutes can help prevent injuries, improve running efficiency, and boost overall performance.
Your gluteal muscles are responsible for stabilizing your pelvis and hips during running. Weak glutes can lead to poor biomechanics and compensations in other muscles, leading to imbalances and further injuries.
