Split Squat with Isometric Heel Raise⁣
⁣
When programming strength exercises for runners, I like to emphasize quads, hamstrings, glutes, calf complex and core. This exercise hits all of those areas. Take note of how the front heel is elevated and held in this position. Not only does this work the calf complex, but also requires more frontal plane (side to side) control to maintain upright posture.⁣

Grab some weights and give it a try
