Hi all, 40+M looking to include more strength training, for longevity and performance.
Quick background: did a 50-mile trail race recently (~9h, around 2000m elevation), and now building towards a 100k with ~3000m elevation.
Focusing on trail ultras, but also nurturing a long-term hope of chasing some old road PBs again (3:02 marathon, 1:25 half — from about 15 years ago, so we'll see).
The realistic plan: start with one session a week and actually stick to it, then build up to 2–3 once it's habit.
What I'm looking for:
Favourite ~20-minute follow-along YouTube workouts/channels aimed at runners (or just generally good for ultrarunners).
Ideally bodyweight only to start, but I do have a 16kg kettlebell around.
Same routine every session, or rotate a couple?
Any specific stuff that's been a game-changer for hill/descent strength?
Calves have been my weak point at times but did hold up at last race (quads not so much!).
Thanks!
