Benefits of Strength Training

• Better Balance

• Symmetrical strength throughout your body

• Structural Integrity

• Fewer Injuries

• Increased Speed and Power

• Increased lean body mass

• Better Running Economy: By maximizing your stride length due to strength increases, your push off step will become more powerful sending you further with each stride.

• Specificity: Weight training to improve strength for a specific activity should involve exercises that are as close as possible to the desired movements of that activity.

• During weight training, you should maintain a posture as similar to proper running posture as possible.
