Circuit training Circuit training is great for runners to build strength. Here is an example of one circuit we do at Scarborough Athletics club. Stations 4 each with 3 exercises (1 minute easy 30 seconds fast) plus one recovery exercise (1 minute) between each station Station 1 Equipment needed 1 step/bench Exercise 1 - step ups Exercise 2 - jumping jacks Exercise 3 - shuttle runs Recovery - six-way-lunge Station 2 Equipment needed 1 step/bench Exercise 1 - side step ups Exercise 2 - lateral jumps over small cone Exercise 3 - shuttle run Recovery - press-ups Station 3 Equipment needed 1 set of dumbbells and a trampet Exercise 1 - bilateral bicep curl (dumbbells) with one leg knee raise Exercise 2 - fast high knees (trampet not needed if you havn't got one) Exercise 3 - shuttle run Recovery - tricep dips or row pull-up Station 4 Equipment needed step/bench Exercise 1 - horizontal running lunges with hands on bench Exercise 2 - plyometric jumping jack Exercise 3 - shuttle run End can repeat once more if feeling daring The 1 minute is at a steady pace (recovery from the 30 seconds hard effort) the 30 seconds should be very hard and fast. Move on to the next exercise straight away. After we usually do some core exercise include the plank, bridging, one leg balances etc. and finish with some yoga to stretch off. |
