Joe's Strength for Runners Series

__Joe’s Strength Training for Running Series is here! __

If you're keen to start running, or it's already part of your exercise routine, this series would be perfect for you.

Joe's 6-part strength training series specifically for runners has been designed to help you build strength, improve mobility and stay injury-free.

You might be training for a race, or just enjoying going out for a run every so often – either way, these workouts will support your running and help you feel your best.

What is Joe’s Strength for Runners Series?

A 6-part workout series focusing on the key muscles and movement patterns that runners need to build strength.

Each session is designed to complement your running to give you stronger legs, a more stable core, better balance and coordination, and improved mobility. All of which help you run more efficiently and reduce your risk of injury.

How does it work?

This series is great to complement your running. Most workouts are best done on rest days, however the mobility workouts could be done after your runs to help with recovery.

Avoid doing these workouts on days when you're running longer or pushing yourself.

The workouts range from 10-30 minutes long – we suggest focusing on good form and control when completing them.

What workouts are included?

1. Lower Body Strength Build power in your glutes, hamstrings and quads

2. Core Stability for Running Strengthen your core to improve posture and efficiency

3. Mobility Loosen up tight muscles and improve range of motion

4. Full-Body Strength Bring it all together to build strength throughout your body.

Why strength training matters for runners

Running is repetitive and has high impact on your joints. For some, over time, that can lead to imbalances and injuries.

Adding strength work to your exercise routine helps you:

  • Run with better form
  • Protect your joints
  • Stay consistent without setbacks

It’s one of the best things you can do to improve your running. You can find out more about the importance of strength training for running here.
