Weightlifting Training Plan For Runners. Here is the full guide on starting strength training for runners. Make sure to preserve a day off to rest and recover between weightlifting sessions.

Bend your elbows and slowly lower yourself to the floor. Improved running economy would also increase a runner's time to exhaustion. Shoot for at least 20 to 30 minutes per session, then gradually add time and intensity until you’re lifting hard for 50 to 60 minutes a session.
