Here is why strength training helps runners: You have to be able to put out more force in a shorter amount of time to run faster.

A well-rounded strength training program, like the one below, will help get you stronger from head to toe, especially in your hips and glutes—two chronically weak areas for most runners. All it requires is roughly 20 minutes of your time 2-3 times a week whenever you can squeeze it in.By Nikki Chavanelle Although strength training is excluded from many runners’ training programs or treated as occasional cross training to be carried out on non-running days, it is the backbone of great endurance training.Clearly, the ideal strength-training routine should be one that overloads the muscles in a way that prevents such repetitive-use injuries.
The only problem? Most runners don’t want to spend all.As a runner, you’re training for strength, not to bulk up with massive muscle gains. And because of the amount of miles you’re putting in weekly, the.
Strength training for runners is the key to running excellence. Seriously, I’ll tell you why. Building a strong base with strength training will take you the extra mile (literally and figuratively).

Real solid advice, delivered without the bs. This channel deserves to grow.
Hi IAM a 800m runer I need the best exercise for my whole body to be enough strong for this event thanks,I wait for your feedback
I think I spotted you at 1.30 in this video:
https://runnersconnect.lpages.co/strength-video-progression/
Im new to running so I had a doubt regarding whether this is a workout to be done on the rest days or should it be done as a warm up before running?
I’m investigating senior exercises and discovered an awesome website at Seniorcises (google it if you’re interested)
Is there a reason that you only take one arm up with the dumbless press? Why not both arms up high?
Hi Ben just wondering what weight is the dynamax med ball you use for trunk tosses against the wall and what weight is the smaller med ball for the single leg balance?
Definitley will try it out, I only run and do form drills but never tried out strength training like you show
Great exercises. Love the fact you’ve combined core, back and triceps as well as legs. lf l run 4 5 times a week. How often would you recommend l do these strength exercises a week?
I tried the two week training link and got an error message. Is the link still active?
the Side Plank leg raises Im going to use that I run a lot and he was right i need HIPS!!!
around 6:13, that guy in the bak, WOW that looks like one dangerous workout..i would never do that. seems like a great stretch exercise and seems to strengthen the hip adductors, but wow man despite the fact he has to keep himself from falling, it looks like he’s gonna fall any second and do a split! XD Risky..
Hey man, for the past 2 months my right ankle has been constantly delaying my training. It doesn’t hurt much during my runs, except for the longer runs occasionally, but after my runs, it is hard to even walk on. I don’t know if there are any so called “ankle strength exercises” I can do to help that, but if you have any advice, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Carrie, ( Kirk ) Thank you for a awesome video!! Ill be adding these to my running program.: )
Hey Ben would it be smart to wait until I heal from my overuse injury ( Patella tendinitis) before I do these exercises or is it alright to start them while my knee still hurts a bit.
Hi, this is an excellent, well made, and very informative video. I’ve added most of the exercises to my workouts.:) Could you please let me know the kind of band used for the banded knee drive? I want to do it. Thanks.:) PS: Happy New Year.:)
That’s a great point about doing them after the hard workouts. Always wondered when I should. Thanks!
Awesome! Is there any way you could add audio cues so you don’t have to watch the screen the whole time?
It makes quite a LOT of difference that type of running Sprint 60-200m medium endurance (up to 10km) long endurance (marathon etc).
At least for sprint I’d definitively would have choosen other exercises a type of deep squat (sprint-start) that one co do savely even if if done explosively and near max strength explosive trap/hex bar squat on a stable box for better ROM (fast up, normal to slow downwards/excentric) with around 3-5reps per set. Additionally unilateral FrontShoulderPress with Oblique twist + and RearDeltoid and/or Lat-exercise with each around 12-16reps in fast done (gain more upper body momentum for running fast), and maybe a little bit of assistive/compensating direkt hamstring resp. knee-flexor work
I really appreciate this video (and I realize it’s several years old), but I have some questions. My doctor told me to avoid lunges and squats due to some knee problems. Do you have any other recommendations instead of these exercises?
When should I do these? Before a run? On non running days? Help please.
I think the same about push ups, maybe it’s a mental trick for those like me that are not very good enough with them hehehe
Great exercises!!
Just completed your workout, following a quick recovery jog and some I door biking. Thank you, Mark, it was just what I needed. Will be using this regularly.:)
Pretty cool and useful exercises for injury-free running without any equipment needed! Thanks a lot!
Oh I can’t wait to try this workout after a few of my runs this week! I like the shirt and effective strength workouts!
It took me 30 seconds just to figure out how to do a side plank
I watched the whole thing while eating my food, does that count?
I suggest to do the side plank with feet not stacked, but upper foot in front of lower foot.
Overall, great workout. Will certainly integrate this one.
May I pleaseask does the workout 1 2 and 3 run be done on alternative days?
I’m new to running. Is this supposed to be before or after a run? Thanks!
Me: *A lazy person that makes ROBLOX videos*
Teacher: *Posts this for online school*
Me: *See’s last exercise* *Sit’s on couch*
I didn’t disagree with even one of these excersizes… and that is rare. I also recommend the 8 min ab workout. I used to play 5-a-side football for few years and ab was always good

I never realized I needed to to do strength exercises to prevent injuries and improve on my runs until I started watching your videos a few months ago. I suffered from runner’s knee for a few weeks after I returned to running this February (previous injury) and I was only running 2-3 miles with a 8:30– 8:40 pace!…..4 months later I am running 6 miles/ 7:30– 7:50 pace and have been injury free for the past few month. Thank you James! Cheers from California!
Hi! Thank you for the great workout. Like I said in a previous video that my balance with lunges weren’t great an you suggested to stand on one leg while brushing my teeth to help. Great tip btw.
I’ve always been a runner, about four years now but I had a long period where I stopped running. I just couldn’t get my foot out the door to even jog for 15minutes but I just recently started back. Usually it takes me about two weeks to get back to a good pase with no knee or ankle pain but I’m going into a month of consistent running and I find that my start up was better than my current. I had no pain at all in the beginning an I was able to run for a good distance without feeling tired but now, close to a month I have a ton of pain and my body just feel heavy lik if there’s 20lv weights attached.. is it that I need a break for my body to recover?
Thanks in advance ��
Nice exercises, but that’s too easy even for doing every day after runs. I prefer to do some general strength exercises twice a week, but minimum 30 min and I’m used to keep the holds for 2 minutes and do it at least twice each. Maybe it just depends on the targets. 😉
Nice routine for a post run, thanks:) Just used for first time and felt good, will check out some others
This is super but it would be better if the music changed when the break is due. Â I can’t see the screen once I’ve changed side for some of the exercises.
Hey again, currently suffering knee pain so im cringing at the 1 legged stuff! PS you are reaching us here in the UK, i reckon your channel will boom over the next 6 months!
XCELLENT, Dune.. After countless injuries, I did strengthening for running, including these exercises presented in the video and my performance improved significantly, and even made it possible to do interval training. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge.
Great stuff as always. Im on the HM programme with you. WOuld love to see some dumbell upper body work i could do when I have some free time to give my legs a break! The seated one you did is good. Cheers
thanks for this video, i’d love more! as a high school cross country runner this is a great exercise i could show my team to help us all get better! it would be awesome if you could make more of these, especially one more geared toward a day where you can’t get out and run. thank you so much!
Thanks for making this video. I found the exercises very challenging. Found this during the great virus of 2020.
Great work out, trains the right muscles. Cost: Zero. No equipment, no non-sense. Thanks.
It would be helpful if you allotted time for switching positions/ workouts
Short, Simple & Effective. No equipment needed. Very practical.
I saw your letsrun post about sub 2:19 marathon and Olympic qualifying. Good luck!
I like that they’re easy to do if you’re in a hotel room and want to get a quick workout in.
im alittle over weight but like to run…I’m running my first marathon in a couple weeks. any advice you can give that can help me keep endurance.
Being a better Runner is getting your legs stronger not by weights but by Hills and stairs and stretching
I have been looking for something like this for a long time. Â Thank you so much!
Hey, just random here but I’d get the mole on your chest looked at.
Finally i found this amazing video that i can actually do at home a couple of times a week. So many other videos require equipment or only have three exercises in them. Also love how you explain everything!
You guys I hurt my hamstrings from doing the “hamstring exercise to avoid hamstring injury”. Don’t like that one. Be careful! I hurt my left knee the next day running after hurting my left hamstring from this video. I’d be cautions
This guy doesn’t understand the basics of running biomechanics and the sequential programming required to produce champions. The first basic is to strengthen and develop the entire skeletal, ligament, tendon and connective tissue components so that their tensile and elastic capacities fit enough for muscular loading.
That fat bitch just ruined it… Great guy! Loved the explanation on strength exercises.
Thanks. Best workout on you tube imho. Not ridiculously hard either
I have spent months investigating exercises for the elderly and discovered a great resource at Seniorcises (check it out on google)
Any chance you can do a Google doc of this workout like you did for the Myrtl routine?
