  • Anaerobic exercise increases maximal power and strength of the agonist muscles, which is associated with an increased rate of firing, synchronization of neural discharge and increase in recruitment (Haff & Triplett, 2021).

  • The combination of resistance training and HIIT (high-intensity-interval-training) runs will help improve running economy and V02max (Boullosa et al., 2020).

  • Power training exercises increase muscle power production, improve overall endurance and running economy (Karp et al., 2010).

  • The hips, knees and ankles work together throughout the entire running gait cycle, by flexing and extending, in order to absorb one's body weight at initial contact with the ground.  Therefore, all running plans should include activation exercises of the glutes, quadriceps, hamstrings, iliopsoas, and gastrocnemius, to name a few.

  • Including additional strength specific running drills, such as hill running and longer interval runs can help reduce a marathon runners mile per minute pace.

  • Introducing higher volumes of endurance training and functional strength will properly acclimate the body for long distance running to mimic and acclimate the body for enduring a long distance Haff, G., & Triplett, N. T. (2021)
