50+ Strength Workouts for Runners of Every Level and to Conquer Every Goal

You may already know the benefits of strength training for your run performance (more power, better balance, improved efficiency, and potentially lower risk of injury, to name a few). But actually putting strength training on your schedule and making it a consistent part of your routine—the key to results—is a different story. The best way to make strength workouts for runners actually happen is to keep it simple. Don’t worry about overly complicated moves or fitting it in at the exact right day or time. Put it on your training plan for at least two days of the week that work for you—potentially pairing it with a hard run workout day so you still have true rest days on your weekly calendar—and stick with it, just like you do your runs. Then save this page and click back whenever you’re ready to lift some weights (or just do some strength moves with your bodyweight if you’re new to strength training). You can also turn to one of our strength plans to really keep it consistent, whether you’re building a base or training for a race.
