Strengthening exercises. An essential part of our running progress!

[Dimi3is]

Hello from the sunny and very hot Greece!

I think that doing some strengthening exersises is very helpfull and now that I ve reached week 9 I am abosolutely sure that these exercises are an essential part of my progress.

After searching many fitness programs for runners I found these 2 very interesting and free android apps

So feeling thankful for all the support you provide I 'd like to share with you what I know about these apps that I have put them in my schedule in 2 non running days per week

The one is Plank Workout-30 days plank challenge by leap fitness group that provides plank variations to help you get a stronger core and the other is Home Workout - No equipment from the same company that provides workout routines for all the main muscle groups. I follow the lower body 7X4 (28 days) challenge

Both the above programs are gradually challenging so they are easy to start and challenging to follow. The pictures on top of the post are from the progams for the 1st day

I strongly suggest to take a look at them

They are great, thank you, if you have a little spare time could you put them over on the strength and flex forum, I am sure some of our members would love to see that routine.

done! I had no comments from the other members of the forum and I thought I made something wrong

No not all all, I think some people are very wary of planks 😀. They fill people with dread. It is a great exercise. Thank you. Rfc x
