5 Strength Training Tips for Runners: Your Best Season Yet at Onelife Fitness

Whether you're training for your next race, jogging for fun, or simply looking to stay consistent, strength training is a must for runners. At Onelife Fitness, we know every runner's goals are unique and every journey is welcome here. No matter your pace, season, or starting point, we're here to support your goals with the best equipment, expert guidance, and recovery tools - all under one roof.

Let's dive into 5 strength training tips every runner should know to boost endurance, reduce injury risk, and run stronger, mile after mile.

 

1. Focus on Core Strength

Your core does more than you think, especially while running. It stabilizes your spine, supports balance, and helps you maintain posture when fatigue hits.

Try This: Incorporate planks or Russian twists 2–3 times per week.

 

2. Don't Skip Leg Day

It's not just about cardio. Strong glutes, hamstrings, and quads give you the power to push off, climb hills, and sprint to the finish.
Try This: Add lunges, squats, and deadlifts into your weekly training.

 

3. Strength Train Year-Round 

Consistency is key. Even two strength sessions a week can improve your endurance.
Pro Tip: Fitness classes at Onelife are guided by expert instructors and offer a community to keep you on track all year long.


4. Prioritize Recovery

Your muscles need just as much love as your mileage. That's where our Recovery Studio comes in.

Show your muscles love with services like:

  • Red Light Therapy can help reduce inflammation
  • HydroMassage can help loosen tight spots
  • Normatec Compression & Percussion Therapy can help flush out soreness

 

5. Track Your Progress

At Onelife, Premier members can access InBody Composition Scans each month, a great way to monitor lean muscle development and stay motivated.
Whether you want to increase strength, improve endurance, or simply support your running routine, Onelife Fitness is your one-stop shop. From state-of-the-art strength equipment to spacious turf training zones, expert personal trainers, and spa-style locker rooms, we're here to help you perform your best on the track, treadmill, or trail.
