E23 - How to Activate Glutes for Runners: Master Lengthening and Strengthen Your Stride


Listen Later

In this episode, Alison discusses the importance of glute activation for runners, emphasizing the need for proper glute engagement through lengthening, not just squeezing or external rotation. She critiques common exercises like hip thrusts and clamshells for missing the essential step of finding length in the glutes, which is crucial for effective running mechanics. Alison introduces her free, revamped "Glute Accelerator" course, designed to help female runners build stronger glutes by teaching them how to load through length and efficiently use their glutes during their stride.
