The best part: it's NOT to good to be true ;)

I was working with some runners recently and I started to notice a trend...

A looooong list of strength exercises.

Let me explain, because I did the same thing.

In 2020, during the height of 'Rona, I had time again to run after 2 years of quite literally not having enough time to eat, sleep, work, and workout for myself.

But I found out quickly how weak I was.

And how much strengthening I had to do.

I looked back at previously running journals, notes, etc and saw the total disarray of lists of strength exercises.

Things I had hoped to try.

Circuits that would save me.

But it was too much.

and too confusing.

so the strength workouts never got done.

Does this sound familiar?

Because over this past year, I've seen the same thing from other runners.

And since I've done it, I get it. 100%.

That's why this week I wanted to send you another base building strength circuit for runners. Last weeks was more chill, more beginner friendly.

This week I made one for the runner whose more comfortable in a weight room, maybe even has a fun home gym.

YES YOU CAN STILL DO THESE AT HOME with dumbbells ;) promise, I didn't forget about you ;)

But I also remembered you have a busy schedule, and right now in the fall...damn, does life speed up something fierce.

So I wanted to introduce how to do compound (multiple body part exercises) CORRECTLY.

Becuase I've been seeing these float around IG for a hot minute now and promoted by runners and running PTs.

And I feel a certain way about them...but I left that soap box for the blog post.

Want to check out a new base building type strength circuit for runners? I promise, it works great too for busy fall training days where you have to get full body strength in in 20mins ;) ​

Let's head over there. ​
