Does running increase muscle mass? This is what you need to know

Ever find yourself wondering if all those miles are actually building muscle? 🤔 It's a common question in the running community, and the answer is YES... but it's not the whole story. Your runs are fantastic for building a muscular foundation, especially in your legs and core when you're starting out. Your body is adapting to the new challenge! But for that next-level power and to help keep injuries at bay, adding a little strength training is the magic ingredient. Think of it this way: running builds your engine, but strength training builds a tougher chassis. You need both to be a strong, resilient runner! 🏃‍♀️💪 What's your go-to strength move to support your running?
