Training lower body without impacting your running 🤖
Just because we’re running, doesn’t mean we neglect our lower body
If anything, the importance has gone up
Training once or twice a week is important
Developing stronger lower limbs if key for stronger and more efficient running, as well as improving injury prevention
The key is to avoid treating your legs as you would when running volume is low
No super heavy leg days for 2 hours that leave you in a wheelchair
In simple terms, a session should look like:
A. A heavy compound (Squat/Deadlift) - a key metric you track week on week
B. Supersetting a secondary compound with an accessory movement - This could be split squat variation paired with a specific weak area
C. Supersetting two/three accessory movements, usually more isolating, with higher volume
You don’t need to train for hours
It does not need to be complicated
This structure lets us hit adequate volume, address our weaknesses, all without leaving you too fatigued to run well
