Injury Prevention

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. I believe this. I think. I've always done some level of strength training as a runner. I lifted weights in high school for fun and running was the torture my volleyball coach made us do. So for me having a strong cardiovascular system came much later in my life than did my ability to bench press or do some weighted squats.
I'm working on strength training some runners this winter. I hope they stay injury free this spring and summer as we start to hit the trails. They are working so hard....that's got to be worth something.
