When running longer distances, performance is restricted by the intake and use of oxygen. The faster you run, the greater the oxygen requirement. If your oxygen demand is very high, your body forms lactate and you begin to tire.

The more muscle mass you have, the greater your oxygen requirement. As a result, strength training for runners is often avoided. However, targeted strength training for runners can make you fitter, stronger, faster and prevent injury. Runners often have muscular imbalances as running always works the same muscle groups.

We recommend the following strength exercises for runners:

LOOP BAND glute bridge
Overhead squat
Clamshell
Rolling plank
Pallof press

3 repetitions, rest for 20 seconds or less

These strength exercises for runners are a form of circuit training. Repeat each exercise three times and allow no more than 20 seconds of rest. This keeps your cardiovascular system working hard.
