Runners, triathletes, ultrarunners, Ironmen — this is your off-season advantage 🏃♂️
If you’re in a low-intensity or base-building phase right now, this is the perfect time to focus on strength training. Lifting 2–3x per week helps reduce injury risk and improves efficiency — a stronger body breaks down less and performs better all season long.
Start with the basics:
• Bilateral strength — squats, deadlifts, planks, side planks
• Single-leg stability — often overlooked, but critical since running is a single-leg sport
Two favorites we love:
• Single-leg RDLs — master stability first, then load the opposite side
• Bulgarian squats — the front leg does the work; progress by adding weight
Better landings = better energy transfer = better performance.
