Leg Workout to Make You a Faster Runner. Stronger legs = more power, better stride efficiency, and reduced injury risk.

Here’s a 5-move routine designed to build speed, stability, and explosiveness for running.

1️⃣ Goblet Squats on a Plate (4×8)
Standing on a small plate increases your ankle mobility demand and lets you get deeper into the squat, building quad and glute strength for a powerful push-off.

2️⃣ Dumbbell Deadlifts on a Plate (4×10)
Targets your hamstrings, glutes, and lower back while challenging balance — perfect for stronger propulsion during each stride.

3️⃣ Reverse Lunges on a Plate (4×10)
Enhances hip stability and unilateral strength to correct muscle imbalances that slow you down.

4️⃣ Plyometric Split Squats (3×10)
Explosive power training for sprint speed and improved fast-twitch muscle fibre activation.

5️⃣ Dumbbell Romanian Deadlifts (4×10)
Lengthens and strengthens the posterior chain, boosting running economy and injury resistance.

💡 How to Use:
• Rest 60–90s between sets.
• Do 1–2× per week alongside your running plan.
• Focus on form before adding weight.

📌 Save this for your next leg day.

2025 London Marathon: Some dreams are too big to chase alone.

This wasn’t just a marathon. It was a promise.
That no matter how tough the road got, I would be there to push, to sprint ahead, to clear the path, and to lift spirits when it got hard.

Right from the first kilometre, it was clear this would be a battle.
But @surajchaitan had come all the way from New York to chase a dream: finish the @londonmarathon and raise money for an amazing cause.

Every push. Every steep climb where my heart was pounding out of my chest.
It was all fuelled by his courage.
He was the soul leading the way.

We fought through hills, a mechanical issue, arm cramps, exhaustion… but the dream never faded.
It only burned stronger.

Crossing that finish line wasn’t about a PB or chasing a time.
It was about proving that when you believe in something bigger than yourself, there are no limits.

Thank you, Suraj, for trusting me to be a small part of your journey.
You showed me what real strength looks like.
This challenge took my mind and body to a new level.

This is what running is really about.
Not about splits.
Not about medals.
It’s about showing up for each other. About heart.

True victory isn’t measured by a watch.
It’s measured by how deeply you care.

Big love to @richard_whitehead_foundation for making this possible, to @vruklondon for the wild support on Tower Bridge, to @tracksmithrunning for the gruelling Sunday long runs, and to @oneldnclub for helping me to train for this challenge.

@surajchaitan is raising money for @whizzkidzuk, a charity helping young wheelchair users across London, and @achillesnyc, empowering athletes with disabilities in mainstream sport.

7 reasons I love Sunday long runs with @tracksmithrunning

1. Increased motivation and accountability - you’re more likely to show up, seeing others push themselves encourages to run faster and for longer.

2. Social connection and support - running with others helps build connections and community. Long runs become much easier! 😮‍💨

3. Improved performance - as a group you will help each other keep the pace and improves your technique. 🏃🏻

4. Safety - running in a group reduces risks when running in unfamiliar or isolated areas.

5. Variety and - @tracksmithrunning group runs are very well organised and the social aspect makes long runs less tedious! There’s so many runners and you have the choice of a 25km+ or a 10km distance.

6. Competition and goal setting - healthy competition can challenge and improve your speed and endurance.

7. The Tracksmith Clubhouse - nice place to finish your run, pick up your bag, chat with fellow runners and often enjoy some goodies 😀😀😀

If you’re a runner in London check them out and see you on Sunday for the long run! 👌

Thanks to @simonrphoto for the positive vibes and great photographs 📸

With every stride and every breath, you are not alone. The success isn’t just personal, it’s shared.

Another London Vitality 10,000 event. Vegan runners squad out in force thanks to the speed crew for the support up front! Paced it reasonably well and still had some left in the tank. Slowly getting back into top form. 🚀🚀🚀. No PB but happy with 41:24… for now 🛫

Another @ridelondon complete, the biggest bike sportive in the U.K. There was sun, rain, wind and hailstones but that just made the 100 miles more interesting 🧨. No complaints. Went up the few steep hills like a man possessed 🚀🚀 and crossed the line alongside 20,000 riders. See you next year 🫡🚴🚴🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️🧨🧨🧨
