Strength Training

Running places repetitive stress on the body. With every step, your muscles, tendons and joints absorb impact forces that can be several times your body weight.

 

Strength training helps prepare your body to handle this stress more efficiently.

 

When runners incorporate strength training into their routine, they often notice improvements in both performance and injury resistance.

 

Research has shown that strength training can improve running economy, meaning your body uses less energy to maintain the same pace.

 

For runners, this means you can run faster or further with less effort.

 

Strength training also helps develop stronger muscles and tendons, which can reduce the risk of common running injuries such as runner’s knee, Achilles issues and hip instability.

 

The goal of this guide is to provide runners with simple, effective strength workouts that support running performance without adding unnecessary fatigue.

This program also has alternatives to do at home for those that don't have access to a gym or are time poor.
