strength training serves as effective cross-training to address specific injuries, discomfort, and muscle strains. Research indicates that strength training can improve flexibility as effectively as, or even more than, passive stretching. Feelings of tightness often arise from weakened muscles, resulting in imbalances and compensatory movements. By incorporating strength training and mobility exercises, runners can prevent injuries and enhance their running performance, especially if they have specific concerns such as tight calves.

Strength training is a crucial component for runners looking to enhance their performance. While incorporating tempo runs, long runs, and speedwork into your routine can improve speed and efficiency, adding strength training takes your running abilities to the next level. According to Jason Fitzgerald, a running coach and founder of Strength Running, strength work accomplishes three main goals for runners: preventing injuries by strengthening muscles and connective tissues, helping to run faster by boosting neuromuscular coordination and power, and improving running economy by enhancing coordination and stride efficiency.
