Suspension training for running

Following the line of a previous post on the use of the BOSU to improve your level as mountain runners, here is a new suspension training session for running to do at home.

The good thing about this is that they can be done almost daily, as a complement to your running session and you don’t have the typical laziness of having to go to the gym, change,… but simply, you change to go out for a run and before or after you do the exercises!

If you want to obtain a complete suspension training routine for running that will help you achieve your sports goals, whether they are improving your vitality, energy and general health or improving your sports performance, you can consult the section Training routines to find routines for all levels, beginner, intermediate or advanced.

Several guidelines and ideas when doing them:

1. As a complement, you don’t have to grind too hard. Do it once you get home after running and you can add the core work. Do not do it after a very demanding race session, but on those days of filming between days that you have more quality sessions.
2. As a muscle pre-fatigue before going for a run to induce fatigue without having run a single meter, it is a good solution for those who have little time or have a fragile locomotor system. In this way, we will simulate the feelings of fatigue that we would experience if we had traveled many km but without crushing our osteoarticular system.
3. Start without going overboard with the number of repetitions and the number of series and then gradually increase the level of demand. You could start with 2-3 sets of 10-12 repetitions of each exercise recovering about 30″ to extend it to 4-5 sets of 30-40″ recovering 30″.
4. These exercises are easily combined with other elements that we have at home such as Bosu, Fitball and even weights to add greater difficulty and load to the different exercises. Feel free to create new combinations!
