Emma Coburn and Aisha Praught-Leer – steeplechase Olympians

This foot strength exercise is very difficult. If you can do this, you’ve got very impressive balance (and strong stabilizers).

Emily Infeld – 5,000m World Championship medalist

This exercise has a lot of steps that individually aren’t so hard, but put together are extremely difficult. This exercise is a full body workout that targets areas where runners tend to be weak.

Natasha Wodak – Canadian 10,000m and half-marathon record holder

Similar to Infeld, Wodak’s core routine isn’t hard as individual exercises, but when you put it all together it’s a doozy. Remember to do this as one set, no breaks.
