I seriously love your set up. Easy, at home and everything you need! I am lifting twice a week and I genuinely believe that my strong legs (and they are way bigger compared to all of the other runners) are giving me a huge advantage on long distance and elevation. Especially training quads when you don't have the opportunity to train downhill running is absolutely mandatory! Great to see you're sharing the same opinion
Good stuff. I used to enjoy squats but haven't done any for a good while. When I hear of periodization I always picture it as weekly progression followed by a back off week, then start progressing again. It seems to work well. Those knees over toes movements look tricky but useful 👍🏻🏃♂️
The knees over toes movements help build the anterior tibialis, which allows our foot to dorsiflex (point up) and decelerate each step while running. Despite having what I thought were "bad knees," strengthening that muscle has allowed me to squat and run pain free.
