In 2013 the New York City marathon had 50,266 total finishers. That’s a lot of runners! Take a look at the many parks Manhattan has to offer and you’ll see people running and jogging. So it’s safe to say that running is a very popular form of exercise in New York City and many other places. This increasing popularity is even more reason why strength training for runners should be widely accepted.
