Well...besides being what we advise our runners to do alongside their running, it is one of our sister forums and it is brilliant... and if you have not visited it yet... you should have!

Great tips and advice for the strength and stamina work, that many of us find so, so useful to do alongside our running.

Also great, if by some twist of fate you have an injury... the ideas for keeping up our strength and stamina are very useful.

The rest of our body needs to keep up with our legs! So, on some of our rest days, non impact work is essential. That is what the forum is all about... and you don't need a gym to be able to participate!

Now.... if you have not visited us across on the Strength and Flex site.. please make sure that you do...

Strength and Flex is not just about the NHS podcasts...

There is so much more... :)

Now... if you are completely intrigued by the title of this post... you need to head across to our sister site... and take a peek :)

I hope to see a fair few of you there later:)
