Muscle forces during running 💪🏼🏃🏼🏃🏻‍♀️
Multiple times your body weight of force occurs in your muscles whilst running. The faster you run the higher these forces will be, with each muscle contributing differently to load absorption and propulsion.
Strength training is a great way for us to effectively load these muscle groups to support our running performance and reduce injury risk.
Some key areas of strength training to include in your programming are:
- High load, lower rep range exercises
- Plyometrics (jumping, hoping, bounding)
- Unilateral exercises (single leg)
•
Of course progressive overload is key and you must gradually introduce and build this into your programme.

Zahraa recently completed her first marathon at , a huge milestone for any runner. It has been great to see her progress. Here is what Zahraa had to say:
“I’ve done a lot of endurance races, but I was always intimidated by the marathon distance. I worked with Chris for about five months leading up to the Dubai Marathon, and he put together a practical plan that fit around my hectic work and family schedule while still helping me reach my goal. Even when I got sick and missed some important runs, I thought I would never be able to do it. Chris really boosted my confidence when I needed it most and understood exactly where my strengths were. I finally ran my first marathon and it was a very enjoyable experience. At same time, I didn’t feel like I had to sacrifice everything to get there! Thank you Chris.”

Well done Zahraa, a great achievement. Onto the next one 😁

Ways to fit strength training into your running schedule 🏃🏻‍♀️🏋🏼
The key is to find a way that enables you to consistently do your strength work, without it getting forgotten about. This will help to support your running performance and hopefully help you keep injury free.
•
This could be done by:
- Strength on a non-running day
- Strength on a running day 4-8 hours after the run
- Strength on a running day straight after the run
- 15-20 minutes of strength work after multiple runs across a week

Find what works for you!

Parkrun 5km tester this morning in icy conditions 🥶 a beautiful morning, but very cold.
Great to see so many runners there today starting the year strong.
My fitness is off it right now, I have really struggled to keep consistent training with all the changes in the last year. This time last year I was running a marathon at this pace, today 5km at that pace was a challenge. But good to put a marker down today and looking forward to pushing on from here and getting back race fit!

completed her first marathon and what a place to do it at the . I have worked with Muna in 1-1 strength and conditioning sessions and her online running coaching and it’s been great to see her progress. Here is what Muna said about the whole experience:
‘I originally started working with Chris after I picked up an injury during a half marathon. Chris worked with me to build my strength and improve my running technique, and gradually built me back up to running again. I have now achieved personal bests across a variety of distances and completed my first ever marathon at London this year. London marathon was an incredible experience and the support from the crowds was unfathomable.
Thanks to everyone who has supported me on my journey, especially my incredible coach Chris Bone, who took me literally from couch to marathon!’

Great work Muna, looking forward to seeing you keep hitting new milestones 💪🏼
