It’s a well-structured strength program designed to help runners get stronger, more powerful, and resilient. If you’re a runner or hybrid athlete wondering what kind of lifting you actually need, this is for you. We’ll cover the key elements that matter most: building strength, incorporating power and plyometrics, and including single-leg and calf work to support your performance on the road or trail. What You’ll Learn: • What makes a solid lifting plan for runners (hint: it’s not fancy) • The importance of strength, power, and plyos in your training • Why single-leg and calf exercises are non-negotiable • How to lift without wrecking your running performance • Why “just getting stronger” is often the missing piece 🤘🏻 TRAIN WITH ME HERE → https://www.thelyssmethod.com/programs 🤘🏻 FOLLOW LYSS ON IG → https://www.instagram.com/doclyssfitness/ 🤘🏻 LEARN MORE + FREE RESOURCES → https://doclyssfitness.com/ 🎥 Glute Gains for Runners: https://bit.ly/3QzFcjc 🎥 Making Weight Jumps in the Gym: https://bit.ly/3QyJKWS 🎥 Making the Most Out of Home Workouts: https://bit.ly/44yJvkq Time Stamps: 0:00 - Introduction 0:40 - Common mistake 2:15 - Choose heavy enough weight 3:30 - RPE and loading appropriately 3:42 - Managing volume 4:50 - Reps for accessory movements 6:00 - Plyometrics…
