These Pilates routines for runners will help you feel more comfortable running. 

These workouts can improve your running speed and prevent injuries.

Pilates is a useful training aid for runners. A 12-week Pilates program was found to significantly increase running performance in one study, supporting the notion that adding core and strength training to your regimen will help you run faster and stronger.

Another compelling reason to perform supportive strength training is to help prevent injuries by strengthening the appropriate muscles. After all, there's nothing more annoying than being unable to run when you want to.

These videos, which are intended "to improve your running form and prevent or manage injuries," feature six easy exercises and two stretches that can be performed by runners. Pilates teacher Kayleigh Jayne explains the purpose of each exercise.
These, in Jayne's words, are "the eight exercises you want to add to your current running routine, to be practiced when the body is already warm." Try performing these in conjunction with another workout or after a run. Jayne promises in her video caption that "it will make you feel amazing!"
Jayne's workout consists of full body workouts. "Focus on your control, mobility, core and breathing," Jayne advises. Here are some pointers to ensure you're performing the moves correctly because the video moves quickly. Although Jayne doesn't say how many repetitions to complete, you can begin by aiming for 8–10 reps per set.
1. The uproar
Elevate your feet off the ground while making sure that your upper hip does not slide back when you extend your knee. This improves hip mobility and focuses your glutes.
2. Swimming in the open
To get back to the beginning, carefully sweep your arm back and then forward. By strengthening your shoulders and back, you'll be able to run with better form and breathing.
3. Arms-length bridge
After finishing in the bridge position by rolling your spine off the floor, sweep your arms overhead, and then reverse the motion. This strengthens your glutes and increases your spine's range of motion.
4. Taps on the toes
Elevate your shoulders off the mat and use deliberate, slow leg movements to target your abdominal and core.
5. Clam extending
As you extend your top leg upward from an open clam stance, focus on strengthening your hips.
6. Cross-over
Incorporate your obliques and core with this twisting crunch.
7. Quadriceps extension
Lean into the front leg to feel a stretch in your hip flexor in the front of your thigh on your back leg. Kneed with one foot on the mat in front of you and your knee at a 90-degree angle.

8. Stretching the hamstrings


To feel a stretch in your hamstring, fold your straight leg over in front of you while keeping your back knee on the mat.

Your running form could be much improved by doing this program once or twice a week. It will help you run faster and more effortlessly while also preventing injuries from holding you back.
