LO4 EXERCISES FOR RUNNERS! Since completing my Running Coach qualification, I’ve become fascinated by strength training for runners
Isometric movements are basically holds and study in 2022, looked at the impact of Isometric movements on long distance running. The study found that when compared to plyometrics, participants who performed isometric holds had greater improvement in running economy.
The same study also recommended that runners who intend to include plyometric training into their programme, first undergo a period of isometrics, as this mode of training poses low risk of injury, can improve lower limb strength and is also beneficial to endurance running performance.
Which make these movements more beneficial for new runners!
1️⃣ Bridge with heel raise
2️⃣ Single leg bridge
3️⃣ Wall Sit
4️⃣ Lunge with heel raise
✅ Hold towards failure
Study: effects of isometric strength and plyometric training on running performance (Lum et al, 2022).
