I definitely have imbalances, but any prior work on sorting them has achieved very little. Could easily be that I've not done enough though!
I only started running in my late 20s after cycling for my 20s - ended up very quad dominant. This latest run I went on, I actually focused on keeping my hips aligned and engaging my glutes and felt actual sensations back there, so that was exciting. I'm kinda unconvinced my body will just settle in to running correctly if I strengthen the right bits but maybe I'm wrong!
Would be interested to hear the long version of the tale if you're up for writing it up though.
The correct strength and conditioning programme will go a long way. The load put through your body running vs cycling is night and day. There is so much good free content out there, with that and a gym membership you should be golden
