We’ve written before at HuffPost UK about how strengthening, rather than stretching, a “stiff” hip can be beneficial to some.

Having adapted that strategy myself, I can confirm strength training has done a lot more for my recovery than, say, stretching.

We’re learning more about the importance of lesser-known leg muscles. Eddie Hall, dubbed the world’s strongest man, has alerted scientists to the power of the previously all-but-ignored sartorius, gracilis and semitendinosus trio.

But if you’re a runner, especially if you’re a runner with a womb, you may be neglecting tissue Strava groups never mention; your pelvic floor.

How does running affect your pelvic floor?

Some people “leak” a little when they run.

Others (like myself) experience gripping, period-like cramps........
