Whether you are preparing for a marathon, half-marathon, or an obstacle course race, you can benefit from strength training. Strengthening your muscles can translate into greater running efficiency. Moreover, your muscles will be able to perform for a longer time before getting fatigued or cramping up. .
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. But if all you do is run, you never develop the true high-end strength and high-power demands that you need to do that. So yes, if you develop a.An ideal strength program includes a balance of both to prioritize both your ability to stay healthy and prevent injuries, but also your ability to produce force and power.
Use progression with bodyweight exercises until you’re ready for weight training in the gym. You’ll be a much better runner for it.Experts suggest strengthening exercises to remedy a handful of beginner runner injuries. And numerous research studies have shown that strength training can improve muscle power and performance in.
The Benefits Of Strength Training For Runners In reference to endurance runners, a 2014 systematic review from The Journal of Sports Medicine states that a “general maximal-strength oriented program may initially be the most appropriate and efficient method for improving maximal force, power and reactive-strength capabilities.”.Build up the key muscles you use to run while improving your overall strength and stability. By Ashley Mateo. Apr 23, 2020. These Kettlebell Exercises Boost Your Leg Strength and Endurance.
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). You can prevent injuries, improve running form AND run faster – all by adding some simple strength training exercises into your daily routine.For most runners, the largest benefit of strength training is a reduction in running injuries.
With stronger muscles, connective tissues, joints, and more resilience to fatigue, you’ll get hurt less often. Instead of sitting on the sidelines, you can enjoy running. Tired of getting hurt?
The beginner training schedule is suitable for runners with less than 8 to 12 weeks of strength or core training experience while following a routine that involves strength training on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and running on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturday (as shown in the training.Strength training for injury prevention in runners is an area of relative dearth in terms of scientific research, as Running Physio Tom Goom discusses here. However a relatively recent meta-analysis from Danish researchers Lauersen et.al. suggests that strength training has a positive effect on reducing overuse injuries in athletes (not runners.

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
WATCH NEXT The Only 3 Exercises YOU NEED to Run Stronger & Prevent Running Injuries: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wH1qSqXAm_Y&list=PLrbwxlLsQTFOhc58jxAthgrPPHzXqCRBn
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. 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. 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?
I don’t normally comment on strength videos like this but this was really good, everything you said was super accurate
https://youtu.be/WEsIC_2PBO4
Best Training ever
#Workout #Fitness #Gym #GymLife #Legs #Shoulders #BodyBuilding #Training #Exercise #Diet #Routine
I really want to do this but I would rather go outside, get some fresh air and run instead ^^
i have a question, for those who are training for an ultra marathon and have to run a lot of miles per week, when is the best day to do these type of workouts? On rest day? easy run days? and how many times per week? Thank you
I really want to pay attention to this but is that Kirk from Bachelor in Paradise?
Interesting, will give it a try.
My stride is short. Maybe this will help.
Some good exercises, but the form was iffy on a number of them. Some of these will be too high level for people to do properly, potentially leading to injury. Know your body people.
these exercise would be done after running
or before running?
Cool!
How long rest should be taken between the sets/next exercise?
A good routine for general prep and beginner level strength, on point as usual Ben. At some point however, there does need to be some real weight lifting scheduled (carefully) into the program to acquire the full benefits of strength work, such as increased economy and rate of force development + power. As with running, the body adapts to this sort of thing very quickly and the body needs to be kept guessing.
I disliked this video. There aren’t any audio cues telling you when to rest and when to exercise, so you have keep looking at the screen; and, there is no differentiation between left and right sides for the plank and leg raises.
awesome! I would also add cross abs to it (lying on the back, cross-touching knee and elbow)
I agree that it is hard to follow the video while doing the exercises. A printed copy would help tremendously.
Nice, I will certainly try these. I’m just a beginner but this seems workable.
I thought I was pretty fit and strong, but 12 reps at 5:50 almost killed me. Great exercises. And you don’t have to be a runner to do them.
Just wondering, should I do these exercises on my run days or the days that I don’t run? I am assuming that a run in the morning, and strength training in the evening might be too much for the legs. No?
That’s how a training should be,in my opinion,interesting and simple.
Yeah!! I agree strength is the most essential element for a runner. If a runner wants to achieve his goal in life, he must know the importance of strength. And such kind of training plays an important role in it. Please share some more videos!!
Serious lower back rounding during that last bit, you’re lucky you didn’t injure yourself. I can’t believe he prodded you into deadlifting 100lbs just for kicks smh
It was an amazing series! I’ll do it today! Thanks!!! Good job! ����������������
Is she pregnant or just has been pregnant recently? Im just wondering..
Ben, your videos are excellent. You speak well and give proper explanations. Your channel will blow up. I promise. Keep believing in yourself!!!
Quick question, is this exercise is for post or pre running?
is it possible to get to an advanced level of running without getting too skinny?, I’m currently 6’2 200 lbs and am trying to get down to 185 lbs but wouldn’t want get lighter than that
Hi, I usually do a 10 minute Pilates session before I run, it makes so much difference.
Great video, keep up the great work!
I just watched this season of Bachelor in Paradise, and all in the same week I found out that Kirk lives less than 30 minutes from me, as is his gym, and I am a runner and found this video and it is actually helpful. Like I thought he was a jerk for what happened on the show but like omg I could meet him if I wanted too! Lets go for a run together lol
How often should this be done after a run? Should this routine be performed after every run?
I’d definitely recommend a little warm up, and some stretches before you start doing this. Very easy to pull something if you go straight into squats and lunges.
I don’t know where in this video is stregth, it is only endurance training, but not long.
I hope it is ok for you, if I link these videos of yours that has helped me to run without pain, under my recent video, though I am not a fittness princess, more like a bear.
I have three weeks to go to learn to run, so…
would be nice if the music changed (or recycled) to signal the rest periods as depending on the position, its can be tough to maintain and watch at the same time
If one had time/motivation to do around 20 minutes instead of 12 are there any exercises you would recommend adding?
Thanks! Was looking for a good XT workout to help prepare for my first half marathon, I’ve had hip issues off and on since I started running and often feel unbalanced on my runs. This workout was perfect because it was mostly do able for me in terms of strength but the balance was hard and I had to take it slow to make sure I was doing it correctly, which I loved. I can’t wait to keep doing them and hopefully start seeing the balance get better. Thank you!
Made 4 adjustments to my program from this. Thanks, as always.
Great workout!
Have to improve on my balance for single toe touches
Very nice video. We did most of these exercises at Air Force basic training. Of course, we did a lot of others as well:)
These look fab thanks for the video. I’ll definitely be trying ��♀️
I recently began running and have been plagued with mild injuries. I have learned that these all have been caused by weak glutes and tight hip muscles in general. I am currently implementing things I have learned from your channel and was wondering if I should stop running completely until I strengthen these muscles? I currently follow the “run 60 sec/walk90 sec” intervals for a total of 20 minutes since I am a beginner. Sadly, I get mildly injured from just that. I dont want to stop running because I enjoy it so much but having to recover for a week at a time is obviously not helping my running consistency. Or should I do the same running format but only for 10 minutes instead of the 20 while continuing the strength training? Thanks in advance for the help.
whenever i run….or do these excercise….after this i alwayz feel.pain in my left legs calf musale…. pleasee guide me..
. alwayz feel pain only in left leg calf muscle
I started out just sitting on my couch going through exercises to do later but a little way through I just had to get up and do this now��
Why no barbell squats or romanian deadlifts? too taxing on the posterior chain?
ive been watching your videos for a while now and they have helped me a lot…nice job!!
One note with squats, the whole knees behind toes thing is a bit of a myth ultimately causes back issues if you take it too strictly, especially if adding weight. Your form in the video is totally fine, just ensure knees travel naturally, without caving in (vagus) or inducing instability at the foot.
Great video as always Ben, can’t wait to see what you put out next
Great job! I really enjoy videos where the instructor actually works out with her viewers, and not just tells them what exercises to do. This is much more motivational! Thanks for taking the time to work out with us!:-)
Just found you, first time doing your exercisesand oh my! It really feels good. Thank you
Thank you. Good workout. Some nice variations I had not done before. Keep them coming!
Thanks so much for your help people appreciate your wonderful support
Great workout with so much love from Zimbabwe. I however thought the exercises where 9 and not 10.
Thank you! I will definitely use these strength training routines!
Nice. That single legged dead lift is money. You can do it on an inflatable balance disc and incorporate proprio. If the wobble disc is on a vibration platform it is even better.
And I am like “How does she know that wear pijamas when training at home?!”
Glad I found your channel! Training for my first half marathon ��These will be great exercises!!
I am trying to strengthen my legs for running. Is this legit?
Thank you so much for the tips and workout! I have no much time for gym and I was feeling myself weak while running more than 15 kilometers, and since I started to do these workout, I have been feeling better on my running. Hugs from Brazil and I’m sorry for my bad English!
this is an awesome video. love the way it goes straight in. do you have any videos for quad strengthening. I want to ensure I prevent runners knee. or will this do it? thanks
Thanks for this workout! I am training for my third marathon and I am glad I found your channel!
Too many reps and no load so better off just going for a run. No strength gained from this at all.
I enjoyed this workout do you have exercises you would recommend for people with sore achilles tendons?
Hi i’m training for a half marathon. Friday’s are our cross training days found your workout video for this week and love it and thanks for doing it with me. Bambi Ivey
It’s 5/26/20 day too long of this pandemic, 6:35am. I just started walking in the local school track with my aunt. Your workout came up. I will be doing this workout on the days I’m not walking. Thank you.
Sir I am dheena
Gym workout after I will go to run correct or mistake any idea please tell me
Oh my love coach Lunden I love you and channel you are very coach professional������������������������������������
I just did this routine and my left leg is dead. Looks like I have muscle imbalance. Thanks for the routine!
Loved it! I started running two weeks ago and I definetely need some strenght workouts! Will these kind of exercises help me run faster? Also, I think it’s great you have an alternative for beginners! Thank you!
lol some babe caught me eyes:P:D i was looking for how to sucess on state exams, how do i get there?!:D
Informative but way too much talk man. Just do the exercise already.
That’s pretty good. I really have trouble including strength and stability training into my schedule. And this is perfect, it’s challenging and doesn’t take up too much time. I’m gonna try to do this a couple of times a week and see how much it’l help me.
when i start running start pain under the foot please help me how i can overcome this pain?
I would love to see more of these videos.
BTW how often should we do these exercises? twice per week?
Ur sessions are always awesome. Todays workouts are something different than regular workouts. I like that. Right now it’s dinner time in India otherwise I would have done this with you.
I really like that you added calf raises into this routine. They are often overlooked but really help prevent and/or treat all sorts of injuries in your lower legs. Especially achilles tendonitis/tendinopathy which can be quite nasty and take you out of running for weeks or months without heel drops/calf raises.
Fantastic! Really detailed, I shall give some of those a go!
For anyone who says weight training doesn’t belong in distance running, go check out Jordan Hasay on instagram.
Jane Fonda leg raises for the glute medius and reverse calf raises for the anterior tibialis are the best things you can do to prevent injuries.
Was loving this until the sit through I have short arms so my butt literally doesn’t fit between my hands ������ But at least I’ve found a use for my encyclopaedia Britannica…
I don’t trust his workouts. Seems like your just asking to get injured.
Based on the research I have done with a DPT, these exercises are exactly what runners need, especially those feeling knee or calf pain after 10 miles or so. Mr. DeWindt seems highly credible. Thanks!
I got a question. would u recommend doing all the way down to the floor when doing squats or stop at a higher point? thank you
I agree with when you do your strength work outs ���� especially to give yourself that mental break too
I seen your channel mate, absolutely love the content. Subscribed straight away, We should connect!
Bravo:)! Professionally explained and for sure helping exercises for us runners!
Great video! I like how you give the reason. People hear overuse and immediately think that means they can’t handle that mileage load and want to cut back. I’m a runner who has always wanted to progress my mileage every year and the most I’ve ever done consistently is mid 70’s this past track season. Not super high mileage, but with racing every weekend plus a couple speed workouts per week, it helped me make huge improvements on my 5k and 10k down to 15:57 and 33:56. I plan to build up into the 90’s per week which is considerably more than I’ve ever done before, but I’ve always loved doing mileage and think that if I can stay healthy I can improve a lot for cross country season. That last point is my biggest concern, I’m currently dealing with some patellar tendonitis which surfaced about a year ago and never went away. Up to this point I don’t think it has been very impactful on my running, but am worried about the increase in volume. Any tips for dealing with nagging injuries while trying to build base mileage?
Love to strength train to help my running. Do you have any suggestions on how to incorporate a lifting regimen into a running plan? I enjoy lifting weights too but sometimes find it hard to do both effectively, I find one or the other usually suffers
I actually liked most of it until you got to the hanging leg raises, which activated the short muscles of the hip flexors, such as the illiacus psoas muscles, and the Tfl and Gluteus minimus which has a competency to become shorten from constantly being overworked.
1st 5k COMPLETE! Make me run another 5k tomorrow!
http://www.crowdrise.com/makemerun5kaday/fundraiser/andrewdubats
Sir how many times you do this for a week? and how about repetition?
thank you
Ben, I Cannot seem to find your height & weight stats? Is this something you share or none of our business? Until this video I could not tell how lean of a machine you really are.
I need to strengthen for running. Is it good to do more than one set of each excercise & how many times a week do you recommend?
It is old theory to keep your knees behind your toes in squats and lunges. With squats, going as low as you can with your core engaged is good. Keep your heels on the ground, but you can let your knees go forward. In fact, that’s the purpose of lifting shoes. With lunges, your knee can travel forward as well. The main point of focus should be to stay as upright as possible and keep your core tight. Anything done with an unengaged core with likely result in injury of time and with yield fewer gains in power, performance, and biomechanics. It isn’t a bad thing to only go down to where your thighs are parallel to the ground, but you will not gain the functional stability where you are least stable in a squat (at the bottom). I do recommend working with a good coach on strength training so you can be provided feedback. Good luck all.
This is a really good topic and video. Great stuff, Ben. And yet another reminder that I need to be more consistent in doing these exercises! Thanks.
Oooh this is awsome! after all, it’s recommended we ALSO do weight training even as runners, what i was always wondering was WHICH SPECIFIC exercises lol. This is real useful
Really like this, but it could use some audio cues and perhaps a visual reminder of what the upcoming exercise would be. Tough to look at the screen while doing all exercises.
i wish i had this video when i ran track because my fat ass was the slowest one on the team lmao
Ben, I always have a doubt about strength exercises. Should I stretch after I do a strength routine?
Great vid, much better than the other crappy ones on YouTube
Congrats on 3k subscribers! I’ll be executing this workout this weekend. Those side plank lateral raises are hard!
I hate videos where they talk too much than demonstrating. It’s so annoying
I always feel strength training tiring if I do it for more than 30 minutes here in local group. I generally run 45-60 mins 3 times a week.. What would you advise to me so that I get hooked to strength training
Really loved this workout, Lunden! I have problems with my knee while running too, so I‘m definitely gonna do this one more often �� especially since I‘m training for Spartan Race season ����
when I complete about 3 rounds of 400 m I feel so much of thirst, not even a single drop of liquid felt.What should I do to avoid it.
Thanks a lot for this video, I really needed something like this. My training plan says that I should do some body-weight exercises and leg exercises as cross training tomorrow, but I just didn’t know where to start. This is gonna help me a lot!
Correct, the knee shouldn’t travel forward as you have explained but you shouldn’t be so upright you should actually be leaning forward slightly and pushing your backside out slightly (with centration of the femur) so that you are using your glutes a little more effectively as they are used in running. It will fee like you rare sitting into your hip and back side more, rather than quads. Also, rep range 8-10 is good for beginners and anatomical adaptation but for true strength changes/gains the reps need to be lower and the weight increased e.g.: 3-5 sets x 5 reps.
Hey, I’m a runner myself and wanted to say that I find your videos engaging and interesting. It really seems like your subscriber count isn’t up to par with the quality of your videos.
Quick question: Would you warn against basic weight room work in lieu of this? I go 3 days a week, 2 leg days with basic squats, deadlifts and weighted bridges, and an arm day with bench etc.
New subscriber here! Really enjoying the advice from such a talented runner. Definitely motivated me to get more stability work into my week
Congratulations from Portugal.
Keep your excellent and hard work and good luck for your next races.
I have never seen shoulder taps before. I’ll be sure to try them out today!
thought there was a band on your leg for a sec in the thumbnail lol
