15 minute workout for runners

While running is obviously a key part of any pavement-pounder’s weekly training regime, a great strength session such as this 15-min workout for runners can help to boost your times and strengthen your muscles to keep you injury-free.

Perform twice a week. Each set of reps lasts 30 seconds, with 10 seconds to get ready for the next move. The circuit can be performed twice in 15 minutes. If you don’t have a timer, perform 10 reps of each exercise in the circuit, then repeat.

Press-up

Get into a press-up position by lying facing down on the floor. Place your feet slightly wider than hip-width apart and put your hands on the floor with your fingers pointing forward and straighten your arms. Adjust your hands so they are slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Lower your body until your chest nearly touches the ground then return to the arms straight position.
