I'm super excited to have found this and your channel! I have been looking for a VERY BEGINNER strength program to prepare me for a half marathon when I turn 50 next year.
Just found this workout today and completed it. Excellent! I'll be moving on to week 2 next week (if not sooner). Appreciate the post workout stretches as well. Feels great.
I really enjoy these, it is just what I am needing to add to my “off” season and slight injury downtime. Fits perfectly with the PT for my hammie strain.
Hello Peak Form Health Center ! I’ve been following your fantastic videos for different muscle groups to help anybody can run a marathon (Beginner Strength Training for Running). As a first-time marathon participant, I’m excited about the challenge ahead. Any tips from your expertise on maintaining balance, stamina, and inner strength during marathon preparation? Thanks.
Do strength training. Be consistent. It's not about doing hard workouts all the time.... do easy, and moderately challenging runs week in and week out and you will see results. Honor recovery weeks, listen to your body and take extra rest as needed. Hire a coach if you can to help navigate some of those complexities!
Hi 🌞 Thanks for sharing this, I've been trying to find something like this to motivate me in starting to run 5K for a loooong time. I'm a total noob with running workouts... If I complete these twice a week, and plan to run 4x times a week, you reckon i should do these trainings in different running days? or should i combine these with the run (Before/after)?
Good question. I would aim for these workouts 2x per week. I generally recommend combining them on days when you run. Run first, strength later in the day if possible. The idea is that you make your training days hard so then you can fully rest on your recovery days. If you do something every day, you run the risk of causing too much fatigue long term.
Hi, my name is Nos. I have a question. Should I do these workouts (1-6) all week long each week? I am a beginner RUNNER. SOO NEED SOME ADVICE. PLUS I'M A LITTLE ON THE HAVEY SIDE
Hi Nos, thanks for tuning in :) I recommend doing week 1 twice for the week, then the week 2 workout twice for that week, etc. So that will give you 12 workout sessions over a 6 week period which is an amazing start. From there you can stick to twice a week and choose any of those workouts 1-6 and challenge yourself by adding some weight. Or if you feel ready you can jump up to the intermediate workouts I have posted :)
I really want to run a full marathon someday but current goal is to start with 3k or a 5k run. I am a complete beginner and on the heavier side. How many times a week do you reckon strength training combined with running?
That is a great goal and you will set yourself up with success for ongoing healthy running. I tell my new runners to strength train 2x per week and run 4x per week. The consistency of running helps build stronger connective tissues and gets your body to adapt. These should be short runs, or walk jogs, etc. Hope that helps!
Depends. If you are just starting off. 2x a week is a good goal. If you have been doing some sort of strength training for a couple months minimum, then you can do 3-4x per week.
Just finished this workout! Newbie training for my first 5k and I realized with 4 weeks left of the 5k that I need strength training. Thank you for your video!

When you are finished with both of your week 1 strength workouts for runners, follow along with week 2 here! ruclips.net/video/p1BNTCUzOKw/видео.html
Do you complete this workout twice and move to week 2 and repeat? Or is there a week 2 day 2 workout I'm missing?
@@iainmunro7246 Do the same workout twice, then go to the next weeks workout!
Thank you so much

How many times a week should we do this?
2x a week is a great goal
Trying to hook my leg in that last stretch has me feeling like I’ve fallen out of a window. 😅
lol ease into it! you can try hooking a towel around the ankle to make the stretch more accessible!
