Running drills help improve running form, coordination, and efficiency. They strengthen key muscles, enhance balance and mobility, and train your body to move more smoothly. By practicing drills regularly, you reduce injury risk and become a faster, more controlled runner. 🏃‍♂️💨 #running #strength #gym #fitness #workout

Want to Run Faster? Don’t Skip These ⬇️ 1️⃣ Bounding: • Improves coordination and makes strides more efficient • Builds power, balance, and muscle use for faster running 2️⃣ Jump Every 3rd Stride: • Trains longer, stronger strides to cover more ground • Improves timing and coordination, helping maintain balance at higher speeds 3️⃣ Single Leg Jumps: • Builds power and explosiveness in each leg 4️⃣ Jump Every 2nd Stride: • Increases power in each push-off, making strides more explosive • Helps produce force faster, supporting quick acceleration #training #running #tips #advice #runner

✨4 exercises to improve running stride✨ Improving your stride isn’t about making it LOOK perfect, but about making it efficient, comfortable, & low injury risk. Adding specific strength exercises is one way to improve your running stride. ⬇️Exercise Details⬇️ 1. Banded single leg RDL with knee drive: works on single leg strength & stability as well as strengthens the posterior chain which helps to propel us forward during running. 2. Banded lateral lunge to knee drive: this exercise works the muscles in the frontal plane which help control side to side movement during running. 3. Banded march to external rotation: this exercise works the hip flexors in multiple planes. The hip flexors drive the knee up and forward during swing phase. 4. Front foot elevated reverse lunge to knee drive: this exercise targets the glutes, hamstrings, & quads while also working on single leg strength & stability. Try 2-3 sets of 8-10 reps for each of these exercises! I hope these are helpful!🤗 #physicaltherapy #physicaltherapist #running #runnersofinstagram #fitness #strengthtraining #strengthtrainingforrunners #runner #marathontraining #injuryprevention

Your easy runs aren’t supposed to feel impressive 🤷‍♀️ They’re supposed to feel… easy 😌 Most runners don’t plateau because they aren’t training hard enough they plateau because they never let their body absorb the work 🧠⚡️ Easy runs = • aerobic development 🫀 • stronger mitochondria ⚙️ • better recovery 🔁 • more consistency week after week 📈 If you’re breathing hard on your “easy” days 😮‍💨 you’re missing the point. Run slower now 🐢 → run faster later 🏃‍♀️💨 Trust the process.

My favourite strength exercises for runners ⤵️ Strength training for runners is essential if you want to become any sort of decent runner 💬 Comment “strength” to receive the link to my runners strength guide 🔗 You don’t need any equipment but I use a wedge here to elevate my heels to get better access to my quad muscles in squats and lunges. And I use a band for the hip abduction and external rotations **if you DM me RUN I’ll send you the links to the ones I have Benefits of strength for runners: 💪🏻💪🏻🏃🏼‍♀️💪🏻🏃🏼‍♀️💪🏻🏃🏻‍♂️ 1. Reduce risk of injury by strengthening surrounding muscles, joints and connective tissues 2. Improves running efficiency and economy by improving stride coordination and length 3. Makes you a faster runner by Improving neuromuscular coordination and power 4. Increases bone density 5. Improves VO2 max, albeit indirectly by making you more efficient at certain speeds 6. Legs look better in tiny short shorts ….No.6 isn’t guaranteed This video contains a sample of the exercises I would throw into my week. I recommend my runners to strength train 1-2x per week if they have the time, Bodyweight is fine but adding weight to any of these is a great way to ensure progressive overload and continued progress You can add strength exercises at the end of a running workout, or they can be their own session on a non-running day I would generally recommend, low weight, high reps. Something like 3-4 sets of 12-15 reps per exercise if possible Give it a go and let me know how you go #run #running #runner #runners #runrunrun #runhappy #marathon #halfmarathon #training #fitness #strengthtraining #plyometrics #runchat #runaddict #runstrong

If you’re serious about both running and lifting, here’s a split that maximizes strength and endurance without burning you out: 🏋️‍♂️ Day 1: Lower Body Strength Focus on squats, box squats, and lunges to build powerful legs. Strong glutes and hamstrings help prevent injuries and improve your running efficiency. 🏃‍♂️ Day 2: Easy Run Run at a comfortable recovery pace to promote blood flow. This run helps build your aerobic base and endurance without too much strain. 5-15km run. 💪 Day 3: Upper Body Strength Push/pull exercises like bench press, rows, and pull-ups. Include bodyweight and traditional strength exercises. 🏃‍♂️ Day 4: Interval Run Short, intense sprints or tempo runs to build speed and VO2 max. I love doing 5 mins on 2 mins on repeating x 5 - deadset love these days. 🏋️‍♂️ Day 5: Full Body Power Explosive movements like cleans, box jumps, and med ball slams. These exercises enhance muscle coordination, speed, and athleticism. These are my favourite days! 🏃‍♂️ Day 6: Long Run Your endurance builder. Run at a steady pace and focus on maintaining your rhythm and breathing. In your peak weeks this should be 20-30km runs. 🛌 Day 7: Rest or Active Recovery Allow your body to recover fully. Light activities like stretching, yoga, or walking keep you moving without adding extra stress. Recovery is where real progress happens! This balance helps you get stronger, faster, and fitter without burning out. Let’s go! 🔥💪🏃‍♂️ #PrimeTrain #RunAndLift #StrengthAndEndurance #AthleteMindset #FuelForPerformance

How to structure training ⬇️ •1-3 easy runs per week from 20-60min long (can follow one of these with 4-8x15-20sec strides (flat or uphill) •1-2 workouts per week; if doing 2, do 1 mile pace workout per week and alternate between threshold and VO2Max for the other workout. If doing 1, alternate between threshold, mile pace, and VO2Max, and as the goal race gets closer, you can start to do mile pace workouts a couple weeks in a row. •1 long run per week about 15-20% longer than your average easy run distance •1-3 off days per week (can cross train or rest) As with any training plan, I would recommend slowly working into the training. Start with no workouts and just run consistently for 2-4 weeks. You can slowly increase volume by 10-15% per week. Then add one workout, and, once that feels sustainable, add another workout. Also, this is a rough guideline and you should definitely adjust it based on how you feel. For example, if the VO2Max sessions feel too frequent, replace some with threshold, etc. Finally, the workouts are listed from easiest to most intense, so start with the ones at the top! Hope this helps and happy training! What other distance would you like training tips for? #runner #runningtips #milepaceworkouts #miletraining

Plyos 🤝🏽 Speed & reduced injury risk If you’re a runner, training the stretch-shortening cycle, aka the elastic energy return through your Achilles tendon, helps you run faster, lighter, and more efficiently. 2–3 sets 3–5 reps ~2 minutes rest between sets We’re aiming for max quality, explosiveness, and intention with every rep 🎯🧱 Save this for your next run prep 💾 4-week intro to runners strength program - link in bio 🧬 Follow for more evidence-based workouts🏃🏽‍♀️ #runnersstrength #plyometrics #plyos #running #plyometricsforrunners
