There are many types of workouts for runners. We think interval running is a fantastic way to build speed, stamina, and endurance. You can also get an excellent workout in a short amount of time when you run intervals. An example of this would be running at a hard pace for 30 seconds, running at an easy pace for 30 seconds, and repeating for five to 10 rounds. Cross-training is also important. Many runners don’t think they need to strength train their legs because they think running is enough. But they are wrong. A good workout for runners reduces their injury risk and helps improve running efficiency. Running is hamstring-dominant, so including exercises that build strength in the quads and glutes, like squats, hip thrusts, and lunges, is advisable.  RELATED: Cross-Training for Runners
