Circuit TrainingCircuit Training is an excellent method for incorporating strength training into a runners workout regimen. The goals of strength training are to develop muscular endurance and stability for injury prevention, as an athlete moves into faster and/or more volume in their training.Circuit training involves a series of exercises that improve endurance in and activate muscle groups used in the stabilization and propulsion of the body while running.Selecting a group of 6-12 exercises that target a variety of muscle groups used while running and performing each exercises to ‘failure’ (the inability to maintain proper form during a set) with light resistance (30-60% of 1 RM) is the best method of training. Although research is inconclusive as to how many sets of endurance based strength training are best for distance runners, 2-3 sets should provide an appropriate stimulus to develop new neural pathways to motor units (groups of muscle fibers) in addition to the improvements in muscular endurance and injury prevention of tendons and ligaments. Take care to perform each exercise with proper form, paying particular attention to using a neutral position of the pelvis. Circuit Training 1
