EMOM – For Runners

EMOM Workout for Runners. EMOMS are a great way to break up the boring strength training routine. They can keep your heart rate elevated while getting in a great strength workout. This is especially great for runners.

EMOM workouts are a quick and effective way to get in a great workout. This EMOM is geared towards runners, but is great for anyone!

To complete an EMOM you will need a stop watch (you can use your phone!). Start the timer and begin the exercises at the corresponding minute. Complete the number of reps. The remaining time is your rest. If possible, try not to take a rest at the end of each round. For Example, in this particular workout, Minute 6 would start the second round, you would complete the Minute 1 exercise.

Remember to properly warm-up and cool-down!

Why EMOMs are Effective for Runners

Runners tend to avoid strength training and cross training. Most often it’s because of time constraints and lack of interest. Runners usually say, (myself included) “If I have time for only one thing, I am going to fit in my run”

EMOMs fix these problems. They keep things fast and with a change from the generic weight lifting sets/reps, it make is a little more fun and bearable for Runners! Even adding just two or three rounds of the workout above will help you become a stronger runner, and only take an additional 10-15mins of your time.

Women’s Health provided a great article about the advantages of EMOM workouts and I think they apply perfectly when thinking about runners specifically. You can read the article here. They also include more EMOM Workouts to try!
