EXERCISES FOR

Strength for runners
In this essential Strength for Runners plan, you are provided with two different "clusters" of exercises: one group of 5 exercises for week 1,
one group for week 2. The idea is to alternate these clusters each week to include some variety in your strength and conditioning.

All of these exercises are beneficial for running. Some exercises improve running form or speed, others focus on high risk injury areas and
strengthening common weaknesses. You can find the basic plan and the advanced versions within this plan. Both of these plans are
suitable for beginners with some basic experience with these exercises.

Each week you should do each exercise for 60 seconds (5 x 1 minute exercises), then repeat. The total time spent on the exercises should
be 10 minutes, with some short breaks between exercises - I recommend 30 seconds but you can take longer if you need to.

The small print


Before choosing to complete this plan, you should be confident in your ability to safely complete the exercises listed, without putting
your health at risk.
