POV: You’re over 40 and realise your fittest years don’t have to be behind you.

I’m 43.
I run. I lift. I train hard.
And I’m fitter and stronger than I’ve ever been.

Don’t train because you’re scared of getting older.

Train because you plan on doing it well. 💪🏼

Reverse lunge into high knee hop 🥵

Looks simple, but you’re working:

🏃‍♀️ Running strength
⚖️ Balance & stability
🔥 Glutes & legs
💪 Core control
🦵 Single-leg strength
⚡ Coordination

For runners especially, I love movements that challenge you on one leg, because that’s basically what running is!

Try 30 seconds each side.

Simple. No equipment. And harder than it looks 😅

Jumping lunges are a brilliant plyometric exercise for building leg power, strength, balance and coordination and they’ll get your heart rate up pretty quickly too! 🥵

They’re especially good for runners because they train each leg individually while developing that explosive power we need to push off the ground.

And apparently, no matter how fit you get… they still feel absolutely savage. 😂

Do the things you find hard. That’s where the progress happens. 💪🏼

Marathon training pending? 🏃‍♀️👀

Don’t forget LEG DAY 🦵🔥

So many clients say to me, “I work my legs when I’m running.”

And yes… you do. But running and strengthening your legs are two very different things.

Strong glutes, quads, hamstrings and hips can give you more power, help you hold your form when those miles start adding up, and make your body more resilient to all those little groin, hip and knee niggles that can creep in with higher mileage.

You don’t need to stop running to get stronger.

You need to get stronger to support your running 🏃‍♀️

18/08/2026

Running is single-leg work… over and over again.

So train your body for it 💪
Single-leg strength, balance, stability and core work all matter.

Run strong, not just more 🏃‍♀️

❤️

⚠️ Women over 40 ⚠️

strength training isn’t about becoming smaller. It’s about staying STRONG. 💪🏼

As we get older, maintaining muscle becomes more important than ever.

Strong muscles mean stronger bones, better balance, a healthier metabolism and, most importantly, being able to keep doing the things we love for as long as possible.

You don’t need to lift the heaviest weights in the gym.
You don’t need to train every day.
You just need to challenge your muscles consistently.

I want to be 60, 70, 80+ and still lifting, running, travelling, climbing hills and carrying my own bags.

🏃‍♀️ RUNNERS TRY THIS ONE!

Short ➡️ long
Hop ➡️ control
Same leg ➡️ repeat

Strength. Stability. Power.

A great little addition to your running training 💪🏻
