Adding yoga to running?

[moandjo]

I pretty much only run. Obviously I know this isn't ideal. I bought a Groupon for 10yoga classes. I'm hoping it will help loosen me up. Has anyone had success with this combo?

Yes! I used to only do yoga and added in running for cardio- I feel wonderful and the two sports compliment each other much better than people used to think. I hope you love it like I do!

Do it! Yoga compliments running so well. Whenever I do it before a race or my weekend long runs, I feel & see such a difference in my performance. I love it.

Yoga is awesome. It is the only way I can really stretch everything that needs stretched post-run.

My husband added yoga (he is a distance runner) and it has helped his core strength and flexibility.

I did yoga all through training for my half marathon. I'm convinced it's why I didn't injure myself.

yoga is one of the most important exercise.. which is not complete with training classes of yoga.....its good exercise for our brain and other important body part.. my yoga routine is not in sequence...
