Strength Training for Runners | Exercises

Lift the hips off the floor and stretch them upwards as far as possible. Hold this tension for a few seconds before slowly lowering the pelvis back towards the floor. Just before the buttocks touch the floor, repeat the exercise. The band should be kept under tension for the entire duration of the exercise.

Tip: To make the strength exercise for runners even more intense, stretch one leg in the air and pull the tips of your feet towards your body. Take special care that your pelvis remains straight.

Pause briefly in the final contraction and feel the tension in your glutes before bringing the thigh back down.

Tip: It is important that the inner edges of your feet do not lose contact with each other during the entire movement and that the pelvis remains stable.

Your elbows create pressure on the roller so that your shoulder blades slide forward. Roll back and forth over your entire forearm.

Tip: Breathe slowly and evenly while performing this stability exercise and do not hold your breath.

You can also perform this stability exercise for runners with the SLIM.

The other knee is directly below the hip. Pull your belly button towards your spine and tighten your buttocks. Now stretch your arms forward and keep your shoulders low. Hold the position briefly and then return to the starting position.
