Pre-Run Drills for Glute Activation and Good Form

Thanks! I'm a puller...and have been struggling with hamstring issues for the last 2 years. Also, you're obviously getting more comfortable in front of the camera with each video you do. Keep it up, because you produce some really great content.

Thanks coach Sandi! Helping with overcoming the IT stuff along with all your other strengthening videos for my underperforming glutes and such!

Hi Sandy, the content of your videos (and also coach Sage's videos) are impressively helpful, they help us a lot. I would you like to thank you so much for sharing your knowledgement with us. Super Duper. Greetings from Brazil.

Thank you! Almost in tears as I write this. I have been struggling with tight hamstrings, calves, hip flexors and especially tight psoas for over a decade. Lately increased my running distance and started getting nasty blisters on my feet from using bad form. I had recognized the need to strengthen my glutes 2 years ago and implemented squats and deadlifts to remediate. Then the squats gave me hemmrhoids so I had to go easy on that. You just taught me that I can exercise my gluteus while running. Who knew 🤷. Yesterday I watched this video and then went for a long run using justly my glutes. Apparently mine had not been activating at all. My form was better, I felt better, it even helped my abs, back and shoulder position. I feel taller. Thank you. This video seems to be the solution to so many of my problems. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Awesome coaching... I was 2:16 marathoner and probably never used my glutes correctly. Now 30 years later I’m really learning to run stronger and coaching new runners correctly...

Good information and demonstration of isolation. Thank you!

4:30 is a beautiful note . WELL DONE

This one and the Core Strength for Runners video are just perfect! Thank you for producing these videos!

Great video Sandi! I've been trying to do these as often as possible before I start, and I can always feel the difference in muscle activation and the improvement in form. So important to use all muscles in your legs!

Great video! Thanks for all the great content you and Sage put together! Really appreciate it and have learned a lot!

Great tips! Especially the leaning into a fence and activating by stomping the ground.

This is the first time I have ever heard glute activation explained and demonstrated so clearly and simply - good work, thanks

Sandi, you explained it so clearly that I tryed them right away. Especially the last one feels good! I am going to apply them for sure. Thanks!

Thanks for the best video advice I have seen for runners' glute activation (and I've seen a lot!).

Amazing, thank you for this advice. Every time you post a video (or Sage) I am more and more amazed. You are doing a great job, keep it going. :-)

Great information and demonstration, thanks for sharing. BTW, you are gaining more confidence in your videos. Good job with your growth and improvement. Keep it up!

Great advice and demonstration. I really needed the advice too. Thanks coach
