Hi! I'd love to get your opinion on resistance bands for activating hips and glutes (been seeing a lot of ads recently for the Crossover Symmetry product). Small exercises like side lunges, hurdles, and squats with the bands seem to suggest they will help immensely with running, but I'm struggling with whether or not to do these exercises before a run, after, or on a day of no running?

This brings to mind one other question, if that's allowed! I have incorporated a lot more (virtual) classes on top of running during quarantine. I am running 5x/week (20-25 miles/week) and doing strength/cardio classes 45 mins-1 hour each 5x/week. Is that okay? Will it ever hinder my running? Especially as I start to increase mileage when temps cool down?
it depends on heart rate, how much time you're spending in those higher working zones above 160 and how recovered you feel. on the surface it sounds fine though! overtrained and overtired hinders everything.
OMG YES!!! I assign 3 minutes of these every day as pre-hab! loops are amazing for isometric exercises targeting little stabilizing muscles like your glute min and glute med. Work the resistance, slower is better, control is everything, but YES these are amazing!
Oh great I was hoping to incorporate it into my warmup routine. It's crazy how just a few reps can exhaust my glutes, so just wanted to make sure I wasn't overdoing it before a 60 min run.

3 minutes is plenty!!!
