Kettlebells for Runners

Kettlebells are the perfect tool for strength training for runners - they strengthen without adding bulk that will slow a distance runner down. While designed for high repetition training - a heavy kettlbell will still provide the needed resistance for the basic lifts of strength training (presses, Goblet squats) but the true magic comes in the higher reps and full range of motion exercises along the lines of long cycle (clean&jerks), jerks, snatches and swings. Along with speciality movements that can work some target areas that truly benefit a runner (Get Ups, Windmills) There is a learning curve though so it's helpful to get a qualified instructor. I recommend an WKC/AKC or IKFF instructor as they know the benefit the both heavier lifting and high repetition. Both are easy to find with Google.
