Gym Programming - Session 2

Focus for today is Back, Glutes and Hamstrings as runners can get weak in these areas due to sitting down at work all day and incorrect posture. Strengthening these areas will really benefit your running and your overall power. Your warm up includes a Glute activation circuit to ensure they are firing correctly for the barbell deadlifts that come afterwards. Use a very light weight for the Single leg RDL’s and ensure correct technique before going heavier. The Back exercises are designed to pull your shoulders into the correct position (ie. Not rounding forwards) to ensure good running posture. I have also included a plyometric style circuit to finish which will build lung capacity and increase strength.
