Strength Training For Runners!

Even running athletes can benefit from adding strength training to their routine. My client Alex who is a runner has gained a lot from adding some strength training to her workout plan including a faster race time. Furthermore, strengthening your muscles and joints will help lower your risk of injury. I like to train the whole body and not just the legs because running is a full body activity. Legs, core and upper body all play there part in developing good running mechanics.
Strength training can only further enhance your performance and make you a stronger and faster runner.
