New Workout! Post-Run Lower Body Strength & Extended Cool-Down
Good morning FB Family!
As runners (or cyclists, swimmers, walkers, etc.), sometimes we don’t have time to split our running and lifting sessions into two days of training. I designed today’s workout release as an add-on to your run, but the routine can be completed as a standalone as well:
The lower body strength exercises are straightforward so that you can easily modify the workout to meet your current training goals and needs – opt for heavier weights if you feel fresh after your run/are accustomed to double running/lifting sessions or stick with lighter weight selections if you’re looking for a solid lower body routine but don’t want to overtax your legs.
The strength segment of this workout made me feel strong and powerful but the true star of the show for me was the extended cool-down at the end. I love dedicating some extra time to stretching throughout my week of training and noticing how much of a mental reset these sessions are for me while taking some time to nourish my sore muscles.
I hope you enjoy the routine! I’m thinking of creating more “post-run” routines…good idea, yes?
