Strength training should be an integral part of any keen runner’s workout routine, but the truth is that many fail to make time for it. I can be as guilty of this as any runner, regularly running for seven or eight hours each week yet being unable to find 20 minutes for strength work.
Nevertheless, I’ve been trying to improve on this front. To that end I asked physiotherapist Patrick Carroll for a basic dumbbell workout for runners, which has helped.
