WEIGHT TRAINING

BUILD YOUR STRENGTH FOR BETTER RUNS WITH THESE RESISTANCE MOVES. TRY 10-12 REPS OF EACH MOVE FOR 3-4 ROUNDS

SUMO SQUAT Start with your legs just wider than hip-width apart and toes slightly pointing outwards. Holding onto your weight, keep your shoulders back and down and lower, as if you were about to sit on a chair. Then return to standing, squeezing your glutes at the top of the movement. WALKING LUNGE Stand with feet hip-width apart and hands on your hips. Take a large step forward with your right leg, so that your left knee is just hovering above the ground. Move forward to bring your feet together, then repeat with the other leg.

SINGLE-LEG HIP EXTENSION

Lying on your back with your legs bent and your arms by your side, extend one leg and lift your pelvis, squeezing your glutes. Pause at the top of the movement and then lower your bottom to the floor. Repeat for the whole set and then move onto the other leg.

SINGLE LEG DEADLIFT

Standing on one leg, with core engaged and shoulders back and down. Lean forwards by hinging at your hip and as your chest lowers, your leg should raise. Keep your back straight and chest up. You can do this movement as a bodyweight move or holding weights for extra resistance. Repeat on each leg.
