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.

2-3 times a week

Incorporate strength training for runners along with your running training 2-3 times a week.

Success through proper technique

You should feel tired at the end of each stability exercise for runners. But remember: correct technique is the priority.

Circuit training for runners

Strengthening the entire posterior chain. This includes the lower back, gluteal muscles and the back of the thighs.

LOOP BAND Glute Bridge

Start in the supine position with your legs apart. Attach the band to your thighs just above the knees and bring it to tension. The arms rest loosely next to the body.
