STRENGTH TRAINING MAKES ENDURANCE RUNNERS STRONGER LONGER
Fatigue in endurance runners results in decreased stride length, which means they slow down. Researchers in Spain, Arizona and Colorado collaborated a study to research the effects of resistance training on stride length during fatiguing running bouts. Eighteen wall-trained middle distance runners (1500-5000m events) participated and were divided three groups: (1) Periodized strength training; (2) non-periodized strength training; (3) control-no strength training. The strength training exercises used were running specific, and included cleans, snatches, but also consisted of high rep (15-20) exercises using light weights focused on the hamstrings, calves, and hip flexors. In the end, the group performing the periodized weight training experienced no decrease in stride length during interval running sessions, whereas the control group and the group performing a non-periodized strength program did experience decreased stride length.
