The Busy Runner’s Strength And Mobility Plan

This strength and mobility plan highlights the basics that can improve your running on just a few minutes a day! Many of the athletes that Megan and I coach do a variation of this plan as their weekly strength work (including pros). Here is a link to the full article with explanations: www.trailrunne...
The basics:
-daily leg swings, push-ups and/or chin-ups with an engaged core, foam rolling/percussive massage
-pre-training band work and high knees
-post-training Mountain Legs 3-4 times per week
-optional post-training light stretching
In a perfect world, all athletes would work with a strength coach or do our more comprehensive “All-In-One Strength Work Cheat Sheet.” www.trailrunne...
But the world is not always perfect, especially if you’re lazy with strength work like I am. That’s where this plan comes in 💪 Plan here: docs.google.co...

Great reminder. Have to rewatch the mountain legs video. Can I come over and pick the weeds around your stairs? I see weeds and I want to pick them. Ha ha.of course love the Addie dog and Megan cameos.

Man, the will-they-won't-they drama of the Boy and His Dog was so compelling. That resolution!! 😭

Seriously, thanks for all you do SWAP team. Here's to running at large, y'all!

The mountain legs have really brought back so much power to my running. Thanks for this one, will try it on my run in 20 min.

[@MindsetRunners]

Great video for me! Busy and often naughty and skipping the warm up! New sub here :)

Just found your channel through Runners Connect. I loved your attitude in the interview, and I'm glad to see that's just how you are! I learn through visuals, and the poor moonwalker with hemorrhoids visual couldn't be more clear! 🤣 😂

That loose lace was causing me anxiety :-) Having said that activation and mountain legs have helped me a lot.

[@MindsetRunners]

me too on the loose lace! Esp when he started running :)

If the Leadville 100 champ does this, I'm doin it

[@luciaichino6720]

Hey David! Is it important to do this little bit of stretching right after the run, or can I do it before going to bed? PS I am today committing solemnly to the mountain legs. Let's see if it lasts 😝

Woohoo!!
