Workouts for Runners
Strength and Stretches for Runners
Level 1 strength for Runners
This session is an introductory strength workout to both improve technique for maximal running efficiency and reduce your risk of run related injuries. It targets specific muscles that are important for running as well as glutes and abdominals for pelvic/trunk stability to minimise unwanted rotation and side flexion.
Prior to this session I recommend 3x 45 seconds of skipping as a warm up.
Level 2 strength for Runners
Now that you have mastered the introductory run workout, this session progresses those exercises to further challenge you. This workout targets specific muscles to improve running performance as well as associated overuse prevent injuries.
Prior to this session I recommend 5x1min of skipping as a warm up, alternating with the arm swings from last week.
