Level: Beginner

Duration: 6 weeks 

Description:

This plan is great for beginner runners who may have an existing running routine, but want to add in 2 runner-specific strength training workouts, and 1 mobility day, each week. The workouts consist of exercises to help prevent common overuse injuries like IT band syndrome, knee pain, and shin splints. You can use dumbbells instead of kettlebells for the exercises as well.

Equipment:

Resistance bands (purchase HERE), a kettlebell (10-20lb+), can substitute a kb for a dumbbell, a box or bench, a mat, and a foam roller.
