Are they the front or the back? I always get confused. This is something I've never thought about, but will pay attention to on my next run. Which will be tomorrow, so help me. - Mia Which ones are quads? Are they the front or the back? I always get confused. This is something I’ve never thought about, but will pay attention to on my next run. Which will be tomorrow, so help me. – Mia

Often runners will overdevelop hamstring at expense of glut max. Although I haven't reviewed the video yet, I wonder if further strenghtening the hamstring will result in more imbalance for POSE runners leading to further hip problems (anterior displacement according to Sahrmann physical therapist). My plan will likely be to stretch the hamstrings for increaseed flexibility while concurrently strengthening the glut to prevent further imabalance (repetitive quick contraction of the hamstring to lift the foot should suffice for training the hamstring) Most individuals don't lack strength in hamstrings rather flexibility (Siting all day, driving, etc) (YEN KOAN: Only when you become extremely soft and pliable do you become strong and powerful).
