Strength training improves running performance by increasing force production and neuromuscular efficiency, allowing runners to generate more power with less energy cost at any given pace. It enhances tendon stiffness, joint stability, and movement mechanics at the hips, knees, and ankles, which improves running economy and reduces injury risk. By building resilient muscle and connective tissue, strength training allows runners to tolerate higher training volumes and intensities, leading to faster paces and better endurance over time.
Awesome work by
