🏆 Strength work = your secret weapon as a runner 🏃🏽
🌟 Building lower-body strength improves stride power, running economy, and keeps those overuse injuries away.
1️⃣ Single-Leg KB RDL – 2x10/leg
Go light to moderate and focus on control. Builds single-leg stability and posterior chain strength (glutes + hamstrings) to keep your stride powerful and efficient.
2️⃣KB Goblet Squat – 2x10 (3s eccentric / 1s concentric)
Slow lower, fast drive up. Trains quad + glute strength while improving force production and control — key for strong push-offs and hill running.
3️⃣ Calf Raise w/ Ball Squeeze – 2x10 (3s holds at top)
Targets calf strength and foot intrinsic stability. The ball squeeze lights up your medial chain and helps control pronation during your stride.
🌟This combo hits strength, control, and durability! All things that make faster, more resilient runners.
