Running Strength Program

Welcome to session one of the Runners Strength Programme. This session should take around 15 minutes and you will need a band.

Exercise 1 is a Fire Hydrant, you need to complete 3 sets of 10 repetitions.

Exercise 2 is Hip Extension with Band. The emphasis on this exercise is slow and controlled on the way down (count of 3) and then power back up to standing, making sure the hips come into full extension. Complete 3 sets of 10 repetitions.

The final exercise is the Soleus Eccentric Drops. Standing on a step you will need to lower your heel to a count of 3. You need to keep a slightly bent knee so that you access the soleus. When coming back up you can go all the way into a full heel lift, keeping the slight knee bend. If you need to, hold onto a wall or banister for support.

Get in touch if you have any further questions or issues with the session as we will be happy to help!
