Of particular interest to runners and anyone else doing relative load exercises like pull ups, dips, and push ups was the focus of the routines. All of the runners kept up with their normal running routine. The muscular endurance group did a few basic leg exercises for 3 sets of 20 reps with 40% of their max. The strength group did supersets of a strength lift and an explosive exercise for 3 sets each, with either 70% of their max for the strength lift, or their bodyweight for the explosive exercise. The control group kept doing this normal routine. This routine was a circuit run twice through with 25 reps each of four leg exercises. All of the runners were already doing a simple endurance workout with resistance bands.

The research was the first of its kind to compare muscular endurance protocols and strength protocols through a full training program and through a detraining period as well. One such study came out this month in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning.
The literature usually focuses on the effect of strength training on running, but the results of these studies are of interest to other athletes as well, especially those who do a jack-of-all-trades type of program like CrossFit. Concurrent training means developing your cardio and strength goals within the same week, instead of breaking them up as you would with many classic periodization models. There has been a lot of interest in concurrent training in scientific literature lately.
