Most runners get this wrong. They think leg day is about building stronger legs. It’s not. It’s about building a body that can stay efficient for 26.2. Instead of “the best exercise”, let’s talk the best routine! 1. Max strength: raise your the ceiling of your force so every stride costs less 2. Explosive strength: less ground contact time, faster running, less energy cost 3. Isometrics/Tendon capacity: bulletproof what’s slow to heal and first to break 4. Plyometrics/elastic power: bounce off the ground, don’t push into it bro 5. Single leg stability: stops you from wasting energy on every stride Remember this, marathon performance is determined by how efficiently you repeat one stride thousands of times without breaking down. Build on that. #enduranceathlete #marathontraining #exercisesforrunners #plyometrics #isometrics
