Why does running form fall apart late in a run? According to Nikki Rodriquez, it usually isn't your legs, it's your core. The [solidcore] West Loop Head Coach is deep into her marathon training cycle, logging five to six runs a week between coaching and taking classes, and the pattern she sees is consistent: runners with weak cores or unstable pelvises compensate by rotating their hips instead of driving their arms. Here's her case for why core stability is the foundation of good running mechanics, plus the one exercise she'd recommend every runner master.

Does strength training make you a faster runner? Jillian Pezalla's race results say yes. Between her first and second marathons, the [solidcore] La Jolla Head Coach cut 45 minutes off her finish time and the only thing that changed in between was coaching and taking three to four [solidcore] classes a week. Ahead of Power Your Stride on August 30, Jillian breaks down why strength work translates to speed, the muscles most runners neglect, and the exercises she'd assign anyone chasing a PR.
