Strength training helps you become a more complete runner, and it’s also a great way to lose weight and tone your body. 

The most important muscles to train are your core muscles to stabilize your spine and pelvis. These muscles consist of your shoulders, back, and abdomen. Having good core stability helps you maintain a correct running posture, especially when you get tired.
