Get Bigger, Faster, and Stronger with this Leg Workout for Runners

Today’s…

workout of the day, we are going to be doing a Leg Workout for Runners.
This is a great lower body workout that will work on strength and cardio, to help build lean muscle and make you a stronger runner.

Cardio Round 1…

For today’s cardio, we are going to be doing 10 minutes of anything of you choice. This is a great way to get your muscles loosened up and the blood flowing. If it is nice outside, feel free to substitute this with a 10 minute run outside instead. 

Circuit…

For our circuit today we are going to be focusing on barbell squat. Take the first 3-4 sets to warm up and then get into your primary 4 sets. Be sure to challenge yourself and increase the weight throughout the sets. 
 
After doing squats, we will move into a 8 exercise circuit, which we will do 4 rounds of. How fast your move through the circuit is totally up to you, just be sure to complete the set number or reps for each exercise.

Stretch

To end the workout, stretch out those muscles to prevent soreness and injury. Recovery is the most important part after working out, so make sure to take care of your body and it will take care of you. Stretch it out for a total of 10 – 15 minutes depending on how much time you have.
