Strength training to aid recovery

Not just to get you stronger so you don’t get injured, but doing it a few hours or a day after a run to enhance recovery.

As suggested in this podcast with Pete Dickinson.

This would be strength training of the lower rep variety. Heavy, but not pushing any limits.

Possible exercises for the workout:

  • a single-leg exercise (e.g. single-leg deadlift)
  • a bipedal exercise (e.g. squat or deadlift)
  • a pulling exercise (e.g. pullup)
  • a pushing exercise (e.g. dip)

That makes things simple!

You could do one of these workouts a week plus a higher-rep, muscular endurance workout.
