If you’re a runner doing all the right things to improve your performance—such as taking time to warm up properly, varying your sessions and making sure you consume enough carbs before and after your long runs — but still feel like you're at a bit of a standstill with your progress, it might be time to carve out some time in your training regime for strength training. A fine way to start this is with your glutes.
The workout comes from Jimmy Pipe, a physio who specializes in strength and conditioning exercises for runners. His glute strengthening routine for runners does require a few pieces of strength training equipment but nothing you will struggle to find in a gym. The workout requires access to a barbell, bench, a pair of dumbbells and a set of the best resistance bands, which preferably includes a long and mini band.
