This is week 5 of our 6 week beginner running strength training program. If you are completely new to strength training, check out our previous workouts linked at the top of the comments section. It introduces many of the movements that I will be using throughout the 6 beginner strength training for running videos.

This strength training for runners follow along uses a pull up assist band and a single kettlebell or dumbbell but you can do the workout without those pieces of equipment and still benefit! Just a few pieces of equipment makes it perfect for at home strength training for runners. The video is a 30 minute strength training for runners including warm up, core activation, and a 3 round circuit of strength exercises. These videos are great for marathon, half marathon, 10k, and 5k strength training. If you are starting a couch to 5k training plan, these workouts will help avoid potential overuse injuries from running.

Adding strength workouts for running to your running plan may seem daunting but you can see benefits by performing this 30 minute strength workout just twice per week. Give the workouts a try, subscribe, and share this with a friend who could improve their running strength!

Workout- Large loop resistance band, and dumbbell or kettlebell highly encouraged but not necessary.
