About the Strong Runner Method

The 7-Day Strong Runner Method is a beginner to intermediate strength program designed specifically for runners. It combines upper body, lower body, and core workouts along with dynamic warm-ups and plyometric exercises to help you build functional strength, improve running form, power, and reduce injury risk. I’ve included most of the exercises that have kept me strong and injury-free after running 9 marathons… and counting! Each day is intentionally structured to be short, effective, and easy to follow, so you can fit it into your busy schedule without overwhelm. By the end of the week, you’ll have a strong foundation of movements that support better running mechanics, more power, and increased confidence on every run. This program is perfect for runners who want to: - Move stronger and feel more stable - Increase power and efficiency in their stride - Prevent injuries and build resilience - Establish a strength routine that actually sticks No guesswork, no unnecessary fluff. Just 7 days of focused strength work to make your miles count. You will need dumbbells, a bench, a mat, and preferably a mini-band for these workouts.

    About Maria del Bosque

    Your online run coach

    Hey there! I'm soo excited to train with you! I’ve been running for as long as I can remember, but it wasn’t until I moved to LA that I really decided to take it seriously. Fast forward to today, I’ve run 9 full marathons (and counting!) and my mission is to help others experience the same transformation running gave me. Over the years, I’ve learned that running alone isn’t enough. Strength training is essential if you want to run stronger, faster, and stay injury-free. That’s why I got certified as a run coach and as a personal trainer. Because I’ve seen firsthand how moving your body and building strength can change not just your fitness, but your mindset and your life. Keep going. You’ve got this!!
