 “RUN YOUR FASTEST 5K: RESISTANCE TRAINING” written by Pete Magill for Competitor.com provides 6 exercises that will give you an all around strength workout. It can be completed relatively quickly and realistically incorporated 1-2 times per week, as Magill recommends, into a running training program. Squats, single leg dead-lifts, planks, lunges, side leg lifts, and step-ups are included.
Although not billed as such, the squats, single leg dead lifts, lunges, and step-ups will also work on balance (any single leg exercise is a balance exercise), especially when weights are used. If the weight seems too heavy for your ability to balance so much that form suffers, back it down a bit and increase accordingly. RUN HAPPY! http://running.competitor.com/2016/06/photos/run-your-fastest-5k-resistance-training-routine_150622

AuthorEARNED RUNS is edited and authored by me, runner and founder. In 1978 I began participating in 10K road races before 5Ks were common. I've been a dietitian, practiced and taught clinical pathology, and been involved with research that utilized pathology. I am fascinated with understanding the origins of disease as well as health and longevity. Archives
