Runners typically knock their run training out of the park, the distance, the volume, the pace.
But what about the strengthening? Yes, strengthening is a key component of an endurance program. Giving your muscles the force capacity, building the neuro pathways to them to allow them to fire the way you need them, and building their endurance to higher loads are all important to your run. The right program includes exercises that challenge your single leg stability, glutes, core, and quads.
Here are Justin's favorite exercises for runners:
1) Walking Lunges
2) Bulgarian Split Squats
3) Single Leg Wall Squats
4) Copenhagen Plank
