Winter Running: Boost Your Fitness with Outdoor Exercises

Canadian Running Magazine suggests three exercises to help runners prepare for winter conditions and improve their overall running performance. Bulgarian split squats target essential muscle groups for stability and power, calf raises/heel drops strengthen calf muscles for better adaptability to uneven terrain, and single leg balance exercises enhance functional strength for navigating winter obstacles. These exercises not only reduce the risk of winter running injuries but also benefit overall running performance and injury prevention throughout the year.
