Home News & Videos 4 Essential Strength Exercises for Runners

Running strong requires more than just putting in miles. These 4 strength exercises performed by Sean Thomas from JAG Physical Therapy are specifically designed for runners who want to:

  •  Run faster without getting injured
  • Build strength in key stabilizer muscles
  • Improve power and endurance
  • Return to running after an injury
  • Optimize athletic performance

Try incorporating the following 4 strength exercises into your daily routine for ultimate running improvement: 

  • Romanian Deadlifts – Builds strong hamstrings & glutes 
  • Bulgarian Split Squats – Fixes imbalances, build single-leg strength
  • Copenhagen's – Bulletproofs your inner thighs & core
  • Side Plank w/ Resistance – Fires up your obliques & core stability

Doing these strength exercises alone are great but if you want proper form feedback and a plan built specifically for YOU that's where JAG PT can help! Book an appointment at one of our NJ, NY or PA clinics today.
