I've been doing yoga for a few months now, mostly to improve my flexibility and reduce injury risk. It's been helpful, but I'm not convinced it's a game-changer for my running performance. Anyone else have experience with yoga as a runner? What benefits have you seen?
I've been doing yoga for a year now and it's definitely helped with flexibility and recovery. I've noticed less soreness after long runs and improved balance. Worth it for me!
Honestly, I've tried yoga a few times and didn't see any significant improvements in my running. Maybe it's just not for everyone. I'd rather spend my time on strength training or actual running.

I'm with you on this one. While yoga can be beneficial, I've seen more improvement in my running from actual running and strength training. Don't get me wrong, flexibility is important, but if you're short on time, I'd prioritize other forms of cross-training.
I've found yoga helps with recovery and flexibility, but it's not a magic bullet. Consistency is key - even 10-15 min sessions a few times a week can make a difference.
