So many runners neglect strength training but it can really help prevent injuries and aches and pains in your knees and lower back. Strong hips and glutes and a solid core help stabilise you when you’re on one leg (like you are a lot when running!) and absorb the impact from the repetitive action.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
This workout should take about 30 minutes and works on single leg stability, rotational core strength and hip and glute strength. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Do the first circuit through 3 times, then the second circuit 3 times. Rest for a 30-60s between sets.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Circuit 1 - 3 x 10⁣⁣

𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝐥𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐞 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞 - keep your body stable, feet hip width and drive through the front foot as you lunge backwards and then bring your knee up.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
𝐏𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐟𝐟 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 - attach your resistance band to something sturdy and step out sideways, holding it in the centre of your chest. Press away from your body till your arms are straight and then return to the centre of your chest. You should feel the resistance trying to twist you. Do 10 each side ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐢 𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐇𝐚𝐦𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐥 - squeeze your heel towards your glutes and make sure you resist the band on the way back down. Don’t let it “ping” you back.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐚𝐩𝐬 - engage your core and keep your body stable, as if you had a tray of drinks on your back you are trying not to spill.⁣⁣
