<\/h5>\n

If I train with weights I become heavier and risk of running slower<\/strong>? I practice functional training in the gym, but I do not risk losing running speed<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

These are just some of the questions one often hears about the fact that a strengthening training<\/strong> may or may not be good for our running outings.<\/p>\n

First of all, I want to suggest rely on an experienced coach<\/strong> as I do, especially not to make mistakes and waste time.<\/p>\n

Why functional training is also useful for runners<\/h3>\n

One must always remember that running is a sport<\/strong>and as such provides for a specific training<\/strong> and one athletic preparation<\/strong>whatever the objective. The fact that you run does not mean that you cannot running better<\/strong>. During our running, we activate many muscles. Some are more powerful, others weaker and still others, if stronger, help us to preventing accidents<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It is impossible to strengthen all these muscles by running alone. For this reason we need specific preparation with strengthening exercises<\/strong>either free-body or with weights.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Functional for running: weights, free body and stretching<\/h3>\n

When I am not running and devoting myself to specific preparation, I alternate elasticity exercises<\/strong>, strengthening exercises<\/strong>with or without weights, and so much stretching<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Overload training can be performed for example for strengthening the back and the entire upper part<\/strong>. If you want to isolate muscles, you can use specific tools, such as handlebars<\/a>by performing exercises aimed at strengthening them. The workloads should not be high, but just enough to feel a little fatigue<\/strong> and make the most toned muscles<\/strong>thus preventing pain and injury.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n \n
