Are "lazy glutes" a real issue for runners, or just another myth? In this episode, Dr. Lisa Mitro, PT, DPT, joins me to break down what actually happens with glute activation, why so many runners struggle with it, and how to build strength that translates to better running performance. We discuss the key differences between mobility, stability, strength, and power, why isolated exercises like clamshells aren’t enough, and how to create a well-rounded approach to injury prevention. Lisa also shares her top tips for efficient running form, avoiding common strength training mistakes, and making glute training simple and effective.
