Stop worrying about training the quads vs. glutes @JPGloria

Uploaded December 2023 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

Should you train the Quads OR the glutes?

People tend to get really worked up on isolating and strengthening certain muscle groups; however, there is one thing you should remember...

Muscles don’t work in isolation when you run.

They all work together.

So instead of getting all worked up on training “the most important muscle”…work all the key regions of the body.

And maybe do it in a manner more specific to running, which will most likely involve multiple muscle groups working together.

Dont Count Yourself Out BEFORE the Race...

$When you are injured, but have a race coming up “It’s just a hairline fracture” Navigating running injuries is FRUSTRATING, especially when you have put so much time preparing for a race. As runners, we tend to “play down” our injuries and symptoms. We hope that it will get us back to running sooner. However, this may lead to a more aggressive plan that may exceed what the body should be doing at the current moment. And end up leading to a slower recovery. As clinicians working with runners, we also tend to do the SAME when helping a runner through the injuries. We may be “overly” optimistic to help gain the runner’s trust initially. However, when expectations do not match reality, the runner may end up being more frustrated in themselves as things are “taking longer than they should.” The best outcomes come from: Transparency from BOTH the runner and the clinician. By giving clear information, it will help map out the best way to navigate the injury based on the runner’s short term and long term goals. Clear communication is key! - Keep in mind that this is for educational purposes only. This does not replace medical advice. - Footage from: Grown Ups 2$
