Beginner Strength 2

Here is a good place to start if you are keen to get strength training. Simple exercises and no need for anything complicated. Just get it done.

8-12 reps of each exercise, 2-3 rounds.

1. Static Lunges (both sides)
2. Thrusters
3. Chest Flyes
4. Diamond Press
5. Sit ups

If you want to keep running strong for many years, you need these workouts twice a week. Something’s coming in September to make that easier 👀

Comment YES if you’d like to be kept in the loop about a Beginner Program.

Such a tricky balance and there are different options. But it’s important for runners over 50 to protect our recovery days.

How do you fit in your strength training?
