The basics of strength training for runners

These days we can’t hit the gym even if we wanted to, so thankfully I am talking about exercises that you can do at home and are designed to get the best running performance from your body. A program that will strengthen what needs to be strengthened and stretch what needs to be stretched. What we want to ultimately achieve is a body that is balanced, stable, strong and at lower risk of injury.

There’s a couple of the simple, foundational runs that we build everything else upon, and a couple of cheeky ones that that will burn those legs!
