Not everyone knows that yoga, especially when practised at the heights of Cavalese in Val di Fiemme, can improve a runner's strength and flexibility.
Yoga helps runners to improve their flexibility and coordination and to increase physical permeability in its entirety.
The awareness of one's own body that one acquires in yoga helps to improve running technique, as the different parts of the body are recognised more consciously and thus used more intelligently.
Stretching the muscles increases flexibility and improves mobility, reducing the risk of injury.
Another element worth mentioning is the improvement of breathing and especially the awareness associated with the breathing cycle, which makes fatigue and shortness of breath less intense and more manageable. Yoga helps to overcome the mental challenges associated with a long-distance race such as the 26 km Marcialonga Running.
For a race like the Marcialonga Run in Val di Fiemme, there is nothing better than building a training routine that includes yoga.
The most recommended positions for runners are:
1) Spinal twist in supine position.
This is a great way to stretch the chest, oblique back and buttocks before or after a run.
2) The dog with the head down
This position is ideal to wake up the calves before a run or to stretch them at the end.
At Eco Park Hotel Azalea, guests have the opportunity to explore these and other aspects of yoga while enjoying the view of the Fleimstal mountains.
