The Reason Your Knees Hurt Has Nothing to Do With Your Knees

Ever finish a run and feel like your quads did ALL the work, while your glutes were on vacation? 😴 If your knees are also complaining, you might be a 'quad-dominant' runner. This basically means you're pushing with the front of your legs instead of pulling with your powerful glutes and hamstrings in the back. It’s less efficient and puts extra stress on your knee joints. The good news? It's fixable! Start by waking up those sleepy glutes *before* you run. Just 5 minutes of exercises like glute bridges and clamshells can remind your body to use its real powerhouse muscles. The result? A stronger, more efficient, and pain-free stride. Who's ready to fire up their glutes on their next run? 🔥 #WhyRun #RunningTips #KneePain #InjuryPrevention #GluteActivation #RunSmart #UKRunning
