RUNNERS WORKOUT | STRENGTH TRAINING

Another video of the type of nonsense I get up to in the gym. These sort of strength exercises really help me become a better fell runner.

In this session and with all my sessions I do a full body workout as time during the week is limited, I'm doing well if I can squeeze more than one session a week in so I have to maximise my time.

The break down if you're interested.

5 sets of..

1. Over head press 8-10 reps - 40KG
2. Mace 360s 20 reps each arm - 13KG
3. Kettlebell Swing 30 - 40 reps - 20KG
4. Plyobox stepdown - 10 reps each leg - 16"
5. Chin-ups - 6 reps

I warm up slowly with gradual weight increases on the gear I'm using, this can take anywhere from 15 - 30 mins depending on how much I'm faffing about. I'm in my 40s warming up takes time ;)

I always warm up. Throwing yourself into a workout without warming up is asking for trouble! I've done it and paid the price.

Hope you find some of this helpful.

Thanks for watching

John.
