Bodyweight Training

Bodyweight exercises complement running in ways that gym work often doesn't. They build functional strength through natural movement patterns, require zero equipment (a pull-up bar is the one optional exception), and can be done anywhere — your living room, a hotel room, a park.

Research shows that just two sessions per week delivers roughly 80% of the strength gains you'd get from three sessions, with minimal interference to your running. For runners adding supplementary strength, that's the sweet spot — meaningful progress without competing with your training.
