POUR=Pillars of Ultrarunning - STRENGTH
Takeaways:

• Running in the mountains can help prepare hunters for the physical demands of backcountry hunting.
• Strength training is crucial for injury prevention in runners and should focus on compound movements and balance, volume and intensity.
• Finding a coach or trainer who understands both running and strength training is important for creating a balanced training plan.
• Strength training not only strengthens muscles but also tendons and ligaments, making them more resilient to injury.
• Balancing volume and intensity in strength training throughout the year is essential for optimal performance in running.
• Mountain runners require all-around athleticism and tend to be more muscular than road runners.
• Transitioning to a barefoot minimalist style of running should be done gradually and with attention to form adjustments.
• Exercises such as box step-ups, planks, and push-ups can help prevent injuries in runners.
• Hunting experiences can improve running by providing mental and physical preparation for long periods of time in the mountains.
