I’m 19 km into a half marathon. It’s warm, I'm tired, but I feel GREAT.&nbsp;2km later I had my medal in my hand still feeling good.But it hasn't always been like that. I have always loved running, but like most other runners, I’ve been struggling with injuries. Every year it was something new that kept me away from running for a couple of weeks every year.I did try a lot of things, but in the end, YOGA was the secret weapon. If you asked me 5 years if yoga was going to be THE thing for me, I would probably have laughed at you. I thought yoga was stretching, meditation, and always a spiritual experience. But wow, I was wrong. I mean, it can be those things, and that is exactly what many people are looking for. But not me, I did struggle to find a style of yoga that I liked.That is the reason I started Run Strong Yoga which is a fitness-centric strength yoga that is a very effective complement to my current workout program.Since I started practicing yoga, which is one of the best things that ever happened in my fitness life, I've been able to train more and without being forced to take breaks due to injuries and it has helped me become a better, stronger and happier runner.Now on to the reasons every runner should do yoga. Get started today and you'll experience…<ul><li>Greatly improved flexibility, mobility, range of motion, and more importantly strength at every length.</li><li>Improved strength, power, and endurance.</li><li>Decreased recovery time, less soreness, and less risk of injuries.</li><li>Improved breathing and breathing awareness.</li><li>Improved balance.</li><li>Greatly improved posture.</li><li>Better sleep</li></ul> And all these things will help you improve your performance, both as a runner and in life.If yoga is not part of your running routine, you should really consider starting now. I’m on a mission to help runners become happier and pain-free runners with the help of yoga, so I’ve created a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="PlaygroundEditorTheme__link" href="https://runstrongyoga.com/course-detail/7-day-getting-started-with-yoga-for-runners/2122">14-day yoga for runners challenge.</a> It is a free 2-week challenge that will give you an introduction to Yoga for Runners and the yoga magic.If you haven’t joined this challenge yet, you can sign up and read more about it&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="PlaygroundEditorTheme__link" href="https://runstrongyoga.com/course-detail/7-day-getting-started-with-yoga-for-runners/2122">here. </a>The program is built to fit in perfectly with your existing training schedule.See you soon!
