One of the things I regret during my 30 years of running is not doing strength work for my legs. I also have found that I need exercises that help work my core. All this helps the leg, glute, back and core connection, which moves you along fast when you are running. In the last few months I have started doing the WOD- Workout Of the Day from the cross fit site. http://www.crossfit.com/ The site gives exercises and I try as much as possible to replicate them at home or the gym. The site gives a video demonstration of the exercises. I have found that I struggle to do as many rounds as necessary but, that they give tremendous benefit. an example of my workout this morning :
25 squat thrusts
25 steps up with each legs holding weights 25 lbs
50 air squats with jump ups on each one
50 crunches with leg extensions
See what happens to your arm when you do all that exercise?
