🏋🏻Strength training for runners 🏃‍♀️
•
⚠️ MYTH BUSTING ⚠️
Running myth: Strength training will increase my bulk and make me slower! 👎🏻
•
It takes a significant amount of structured weight training to increase mass / bulk. Ask any of your friends that are regular gym goers and they will probably tell you that their training of 2-3 sessions per week is not making a huge change to their muscle mass. You may even see it yourself, that some of your friends may be going to the gym regularly and they haven’t changed much in shape or size! 🤔
•
If you are a runner then most of your training is going to be “running”. The thing with regular running / endurance exercise is that it inhibits the pathway that produces muscle growth. Therefore you can get strong without increasing mass! 🤩

🏋🏻Strength training for runners 🏃‍♀️
•
Strength training myth: high reps / low weight for running strength 🤔
•
I am asked a lot about how runners should do their strength. I hear so many quote the high rep and low weight ranges. A couple of reasons why people think they should do this are:
I need to build endurance 👎🏻
I don’t want to bulk up 👎🏻
•
Runners obviously need endurance to run and progress running. The best way to build up strength endurance for running is “running”🏃‍♀️
•
Strength training 🏋🏻‍♂️should provide a different stimulus. When you run you need to absorb a large amount of force, therefore when strength training you should use loads that can increase the tolerance of the tissues and also provide stimulus to generate forces applied to the ground💥
•
I am not saying that if you are new to strength that you should go heavy immediately. I always recommend beginning with a weight that you can complete 3 x 12 reps (but feel like you need a rest by the end of the 3rd set). As you become more experienced you can then manipulate the weight and rep ranges to target more of a strength / power. 💪

⚠️ MTSS - Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome
•
AKA: Shin Splints
•
MTSS is a common injury seen in runners 🏃‍♀️. It is defined as exercise induced pain felt along the medial shin. 🦵
•
The main cause of MTSS is an increase in load exposure to the medial shin. This can be as a result of increase bone load from peak forces applied during stance phase of running or an increase of internal load on the shin from muscle force applied during running. 🏃‍♂️
•
Check out the info graphic above for a more detailed explanation of MTSS. ⬅️ Swipe left to read.

A common theme we see in both new & experienced runners🏃‍♀️is training error!
•
⚠️Too much / too quickly / too soon!
•
TRAINING LOAD / TRAINING ERROR 📈
•
According to research it is thought that approximately 60 - 70% of running injuries are due to training errors! 😳
•
Rapid changes in running load are associated with running injury 📈
•
Load is referred to as the repeated stress exposed to tissues as a result of running.
•
In essence people do too much too quickly! They may increase too many variables at once such as; speed, distance and terrain (hills).
•
Think about how you progress your running. Gradually increase load exposure, think about taking occasional deload weeks to allow tissue adaptation.🏃‍♀️🏃
