Faster for which distance? Sprints? 5/10K?
5k
Bump
Compound lifts. Squats, deadlifts, lunges, weighted step ups, pull ups, push ups, bench press, rows are great.
Got my 5k from low 19s to low 18s in one year with most of the above exercises. Wasn't running much due to an Achilles problem, but lifting weights kept me sharp. I think it was particularly helpful because I was borderline underweight before lifting.
trap bar deadlifts have a major correlation for sprinting speed. they kind of combine some of the best aspects of squatting and deadlifting.
If they improve your sprinting, im pretty sure they will improve your distance as well, as long as you are not neglecting your run program while you are doing them.
the best thing you can do is more running
why do people want to get faster at running, then try to find any thing they can do to avoid running?
5x5
I lift 128 lbs off the ground using each leg in succession. I do this about 80 minutes a day. Some days I do it going uphill which is much harder. Makes me really really fast.

and what is the source that trap bar deadlifts have any correlation with how fast Bokt is/was?
A lot of people do trap bar deadlifts. They ain't all fast. Please provide a study showing the before and after sprint times of people who changed nothing in their routines other than adding trap bar deadlifts.
Thanks a million and please keep up the effective work.
I honestly like any deadlift if used correctly for speed training, but trap bar deadlift allows most people not only to use more weight but to also move the bar at a higher velocity. You can also do things like trap bar dead lift jumps with low weight, much safer than jump squats.They also takes a lot of excess pressure of the spine, effectively reducing back injuries.
There are some negatives too though less hamstring activation and more quad activation. There is also more knee joint and less hip joint movement.
For 5k+ the trick is to get stronger but not add muscle weight. To do that I suggest compound lifts with low reps and lots of rest. The point of weight training for a long distance runner is to prevent injury and improve form. Both aspects will make you better at running in the long term but don’t expect it to knock lots of time off right away. Running is still the most important aspect to improve at running but this is an important component, especially as you age.
This is a good source...
