i stick with basic exercises to supplement running, squats, pull ups, bench press. they work the whole body and seem to work well with running. i'd give it a shot, a lot of times simpler is better. i'm not trying to be a body builder, so this works great for me.

I've been running for about 18 months now with no other exercise. This thread has a lot of great info in it to help me get started. Thanks to all that have contributed!

This is a 6 minute routine I created. Do it 2-3x per week and you'll definitely notice a difference Smile

Dig out a hole and carry the dirt and rocks with you whilst you run. The next day you move it all back.

It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.

Happened to stumble across this when I was looking for a push-up challenge...I can get up to about 12 of each in 10 minutes.

Couple of new favorites of mine...

1. V-ups - lay on your back, bring your legs up while doing a sit up...reach for your toes

2. Cross V-ups - instead of going straight up alternate left/right side...ouch

3. Side bridge with reach under - start in the side bridge position, reach non support hand to the ceiling. Bring it down and reach under yourself as far as you can, then back up

Are you doing this for world peace? For the homeless? Are you running for women's rights? The environment?

They couldn't believe somebody would do all that running for no reason.
