A circuit session, is an easily accessible workout, with zero cost or special equipment needed. It can be done with limited floor space. All you need is a household chair and a positive mind-set.
Saucony UK ambassador James Thie is hosting weekly running circuit sessions at 6pm on Mondays and Wednesdays on his Youtube channel HERE.
It benefits you in a number of ways:
- Cardiovascular fitness: Your heart rate increases during the session and will remain high for the period of the workout.
- Strength of muscle and tendons: Using body weight to condition the key areas used in all functional movement patterns through a variation of exercises, intensities and repetitions.
- Co-ordination and balance: An area sometimes forgotten. Running requires good coordination, balance and stability.
- Running technique: Putting the body into effective technical positions, enhances strength and prepares against tiredness and fatigue.
- Injury prevention: Using the natural stress and overload of your body’s own weight, prepares you for more intense training, faster running on harder surfaces and races.
