Running my first 5k 14 months after the birth of my baby, have worked hard to get to this point post C section. Glad to have found this series to build strength and incorporate into my runs.
Just found this workout today and completed it. Excellent! I'll be moving on to week 2 next week (if not sooner). Appreciate the post workout stretches as well. Feels great.
I'm super excited to have found this and your channel! I have been looking for a VERY BEGINNER strength program to prepare me for a half marathon when I turn 50 next year.
I really enjoy these, it is just what I am needing to add to my “off” season and slight injury downtime. Fits perfectly with the PT for my hammie strain.
Happy to hear! I also just started a weekly running video on technique/injury prevention/management etc. If you have any suggestions for content, I am always looking for new ideas and support the people watching our channel :)
Just saw this video today.. I just strarted to do walk/slow jog this week. Can I incorporate this during my rest days. Planning to do 2 active rest days/week.
If you keep the intensity down with weights etc. yes. But if you start using heavier weights to get the most out of these workouts then you would want to structure it so you do get proper rest from walk/jog/lifting. I have my patients often do a run in the AM and a lift PM so then they can then fully rest the next day.
Hi there, I am trying to improve my health and fitness and tried getting into running recently by doing jogging and walking intervals for half an hour 2-3 times a week. After a couple of weeks, I had intense pain in my shins. It felt like bruising to touch but there wasn't any visible bruising marks. I decided to stop and let my shins heal as it was even painful to walk and I am a heavy person. I thought maybe I needed to do some strength training to try and build up my joints and muscles. I am usually relatively active (walk, swim, surf) but have had a broken bone in my foot and been in a boot for the past 8 weeks. I was excited to try this workout as I am building my fitness but I was really discouraged by how hard I found it! It does say "beginner" and "week 1" in the title so I thought I would be safe but felt like it was too hard. I am happy to push myself but it has to feel achievable. I am still going to try it again in a few days but just wanted to let you know that maybe some "even easier" workouts especially low impact (not starting with jumping jacks as the first thing) may be helpful for other people like me who find your channel.
Thanks for the feedback :) I definitely don't want people to get discouraged from trying strength training to help improve their health and fitness levels. With all of these workouts I created, the most important part is doing what feels good/comfortable for you. If jumping jacks seem like too aggressive of warm up exercise, then modify it by just moving the arms and stepping side to side, as an example. It is hard to be able to offer a beginner routine that works for everyone. Running (jogging) is a challenging sport so all the exercises selected are designed to help prep the body specifically for running. If you just got out of a boot, I would suggest looking into specific rehab for the foot/ankle/lower leg. You may need to work on isolated exercises before transitioning to more of a full body exercise routine used in conjunction with running. But no matter what, keep working towards your goals, keep working on strengthening your body. With consistency and time you will be able to do this exercise routine (and more!) and be able to get back to running with much less pain!
Hello Peak Form Health Center ! I’ve been following your fantastic videos for different muscle groups to help anybody can run a marathon (Beginner Strength Training for Running). As a first-time marathon participant, I’m excited about the challenge ahead. Any tips from your expertise on maintaining balance, stamina, and inner strength during marathon preparation? Thanks.
Do strength training. Be consistent. It's not about doing hard workouts all the time.... do easy, and moderately challenging runs week in and week out and you will see results. Honor recovery weeks, listen to your body and take extra rest as needed. Hire a coach if you can to help navigate some of those complexities!
Hi, my name is Nos. I have a question. Should I do these workouts (1-6) all week long each week? I am a beginner RUNNER. SOO NEED SOME ADVICE. PLUS I'M A LITTLE ON THE HAVEY SIDE
Hi Nos, thanks for tuning in :) I recommend doing week 1 twice for the week, then the week 2 workout twice for that week, etc. So that will give you 12 workout sessions over a 6 week period which is an amazing start. From there you can stick to twice a week and choose any of those workouts 1-6 and challenge yourself by adding some weight. Or if you feel ready you can jump up to the intermediate workouts I have posted :)
Hi 🌞 Thanks for sharing this, I've been trying to find something like this to motivate me in starting to run 5K for a loooong time. I'm a total noob with running workouts... If I complete these twice a week, and plan to run 4x times a week, you reckon i should do these trainings in different running days? or should i combine these with the run (Before/after)?
Good question. I would aim for these workouts 2x per week. I generally recommend combining them on days when you run. Run first, strength later in the day if possible. The idea is that you make your training days hard so then you can fully rest on your recovery days. If you do something every day, you run the risk of causing too much fatigue long term.
I really want to run a full marathon someday but current goal is to start with 3k or a 5k run. I am a complete beginner and on the heavier side. How many times a week do you reckon strength training combined with running?
That is a great goal and you will set yourself up with success for ongoing healthy running. I tell my new runners to strength train 2x per week and run 4x per week. The consistency of running helps build stronger connective tissues and gets your body to adapt. These should be short runs, or walk jogs, etc. Hope that helps!
Depends. If you are just starting off. 2x a week is a good goal. If you have been doing some sort of strength training for a couple months minimum, then you can do 3-4x per week.
Just finished this workout! Newbie training for my first 5k and I realized with 4 weeks left of the 5k that I need strength training. Thank you for your video!

When you are finished with both of your week 1 strength workouts for runners, follow along with week 2 here! th-cam.com/video/p1BNTCUzOKw/w-d-xo.html
Do you complete this workout twice and move to week 2 and repeat? Or is there a week 2 day 2 workout I'm missing?
@@iainmunro7246 Do the same workout twice, then go to the next weeks workout!

How many times a week should we do this?
2x a week is a great goal
Really useful, thanks. Been looking for something to go alongside couch25K to minimise risk of injury.
Happy to hear you enjoyed it! Just FYI I have tarted up again doing weekly videos on running tips/exercise suggestions :) tune in!

Trying to hook my leg in that last stretch has me feeling like I’ve fallen out of a window. 😅
lol ease into it! you can try hooking a towel around the ankle to make the stretch more accessible!
I am 59yrs old, running marathons. Howcoften should I do strength training
Depends. If you are just starting off. 2x a week is a good goal. If you have been doing some sort of strength training for a couple months minimum, then you can do 3-4x per week.
Just finished this workout! Newbie training for my first 5k and I realized with 4 weeks left of the 5k that I need strength training. Thank you for your video!
