Circuit Training Routine for Runners

http://runnersconnect.net/strength-tr...

This circuit training routine is designed specifically for runners. By keeping each exercise dynamic, specific, and constantly moving we're able to combine an aerobic workout with strength training.

Circuit training is especially helpful for beginner runners or injury prone athletes who aren't ready to handle an increase in volume but who want to do more to improve their running long-term. Not only will this routine provide you with a dynamic way to gain aerobic fitness, it will strengthen your running muscles so you can increase your volume with less injury risk.

This is the body weight routine and is perfect if you don't have access to a medicine ball or don't have a large space to move around in. Don't be fooled, just because it's all body weight exercises doesn't mean it's not hard!

The critical component of this routine is that each exercise be completed one after another without resting. This will be difficult the first few attempts at the workout as you get adjusted to the order and execution of the exercises; however, you should get the hang of it after the first few tries.
