Single leg exercises are great for runners. While you are running you are putting all of your weight on one leg at a time so it is important that you work on the strength in each leg separately. This exercise will help with stabilization, endurance and speed.
Try this 2-3 times a week by doing 3 sets of 15 squats on on each leg. Increase reps as the exercise gets easier.
1. Place one leg on a bench for balance. All of your weight should be on your front leg!
2. Lower yourself down slowly without letting your knee to go past your toes (try to keep your leg at a 90 degree angle) and stand back up. Remember to keep all of your weight on your front leg. Make sure you keep good posture the whole time.
