While running is simply the most important way to making yourself a better runner, strength training is also an integral part of helping avoid injury and fatigue. Plus it helps you look good! Jay Johnson is a strength and conditioning guru. Jay Johnson was one of the athletes featured in the famous collegiate running book, "Running With The Buffalo's". Jay currently has dedicated himself to coaching a great deal of talented athletes in Boulder, Colorado, one of the staple running cities in the United States. Jay has truck loads of videos and resources available online that deal with the strength training for runners. He has a great deal of experience developing and refining exercises that will make runners stronger in their hips, glutes, core and lower legs. These exercises also will not put on bulk and stiffness, enemies to efficient running. I have provided a YouTube link to the 8 week general strength progression. Get started on the strength portion of your workout today and stick with it! 2 or 3 times a week! Remember its important to start slow and for short periods of time when beginning a strength program.
