2-3x weekly 20-minute workouts Focus on weaknesses
Improvements in muscular endurance are achieved specifically by running and should not be the goal of a strength training program for distance runners. Completing endurance circuit type exercises example 3 sets of 20 reps or more has not been shown to achieve the benefits to running performance and reduced injury risk. If you’re getting your heart rate up high while performing strength work, then you’re probably not doing the right type of work.
The right strength work can lead to: 1. Faster running performance 2. Improved running economy 3. Reduced risk of injury
