STRENGTH TRAINING FOR RUNNERS
by Adam Jones

the Hogarth Club workout of the week by PT Adam Jones

Trail running specialist and coach, Adam Jones brings you strength exercises specifically for runners. These will help avoid injury and with endurance on your runs!

◾️ VMO HEEL ROCKERS
🦵15-20 reps each side

💬 The VMO (Vastus Medialis) places a pivotal role in in controlling the knees alignment through movement and loading. With long distance running this muscle can fatigue which starts to bring the knee out of track and places a greater influence on areas like the hip, which can lead to pain and injury.

1️⃣ Stand with feet hip width apart and the band just behind the back of the knee.
2️⃣ Lift the heel as high as you can that does not allow the hips to move.
3️⃣ Bring the heel back down to the floor and rock back to lift the toes off the ground – AGAIN ENSURING NO MOVEMENT IN THE HIPS! 🤓
4️⃣ Hold at the top of the movement before letting the toes drop back to the ground and repeating.

◾️ BANDED SINGLE LEG ABDUCTION
🦵 15 – 20 reps each side

💬 A great balancing exercise focusing on the glutes where as much of the work is going through the loaded balancing leg as it is on the driving outward leg.

1️⃣ Standing on 1 leg with a band around the outer ankle – maintain as straight a body position as possible whilst driving out the outer leg.
2️⃣ Slowly control back to the centre before repeating.

◾️ SINGLE LEG REVERSE LUNGE
🦵 8 – 12 reps

💬 A reverse lunge places a larger emphasis on the hamstring & glute-max of the loaded leg whereas a forward lunge loads the quads to a greater degree.

1️⃣ Take a large step back making sure to gain balance on the back leg
2️⃣ Lower to tap the knee to the floor
3️⃣ Drive back up and into the starting position.

◾️ DUMBELL ROMANIAN DEADLIFTS
🦵 8 – 12 reps

💬 A great posterior chain exercise strengthening the lower back muscles, glutes and hamstrings.

1️⃣ Stand with feet hip width apart.
2️⃣ Maintaining a slight bend in your knees throughout, push your bum back and slowly hinge from your hips
3️⃣ Lower your upper body to the point that you feel your hamstrings tighten. KEEP BACK FLAT THROUGHOUT! 🤓

◾️ LOWER BACK EXTENSIONS
🦵 10 – 12 reps

1️⃣ Lie over a box with hips into edge.
2️⃣ Lift legs up to level with your body – hold and return to original position.
