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.
