I do these sessions on running workout days to keep my hard days hard and my easy days easy. I also usually get DOMS after lifting so if I lifted the day before my running workout, I would pull up bad and it would hinder my workout. Sessions generally consist of a plyometric warm up exercise, 2x lifting exercises, 2x hamstring exercises, and a calf exercise. I leave core and glute strength work to other days as I don\u2019t want to be in the gym for too long, and I find I can do these less intense strength sessions anytime throughout the week without pulling up sore.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One thing that I see many runners do is either lift weights that are too light, or lift weights too slowly.
