TRAINING TIPS FROM DARREN HARDY
Running is an art, whether it’s sprinting 100m or a 100km ultra the principles are all the same. A key to successful running is weight training. This is crucial to gain strength, prevent injury and ultimately perform better. Only ‘training legs’ is not going to help. Running uses the whole body, so training the whole body is essential. As running is mainly a sagittal movement, you should train for this by performing exercises such as weighted step ups, Bulgarian split squats, superman’s, and lunges.
