I started running about a year ago and I really enjoy it. Most of the time I run on treadmills before my workout, but when I can I love to run at parks. My roommate and I had a race my last semester and he zoomed away as soon as I reached my limit. Would appreciate any recommendations.

Edit: Thank you everyone for your responses!

Have you heard of the 'Kettlebell Effect'? Its where your performance in other sports is noticeably enhanced because of kettlebell exercises, specifically Kettlebell Swings. They train your posterior chain and give you strength, stability and explosive power all around the hip region.

I do strength training in a gym with machines, barbells and dumbbells, but ive also started incorporating doublehanded kettlebell swings to my routine. 20 swings with a 20kg bell and im gasping for air!
