🏃♂️💪 Strength Training for Runners: Myth Busted! 💪🏃♀️
Think high-rep, low-resistance training is the key to improving your running performance? 🤔 Think again! Research shows that heavy resistance, explosive movements, and plyometrics are game-changers for runners at all levels. 🙌
✨ Why Strength Training Matters:
✅ Boost your running economy by 2–8%.
✅ Shave minutes off your time trials (hello, new PB! 🏆).
✅ Sprint faster and stronger than ever before.
Like always, consistency is key 🔑. 2–3 sessions per week can elevate your performance and get you race-ready.
