Good gym weight circuit for leg strength

Hi there

I’m looking for some help in creating a routine to help increase leg strength.

I’m currently on week 8 of C25K and wanting to Support my running journey and help me find running more fun and easier so I can ignite the love to keep me going post graduation.

I’m currently just floating round the gym doing random exercises:

Barbell squat

Leg extension

Leg curls

Goblet squats

Walking lunges

Anything better than this bare bones routine would be so gratefully received.

I don’t do gym weight circuits but I’ll put in some links that might help.

First: we do have our own @JohnnyLewis who last year did a whole series of 14 days of cross training WODS, and you might find some very useful ideas in there.

Bare bones is good sometimes. Squats and Goblat Squats you can't beat along with Lunges (eithier with Db or just body weight) .
