The prompt

Copy the complete prompt (it wraps the request below so the AI returns a clean, runnable session).

Write me a 25-minute bodyweight strength session for a runner with no equipment, to do twice a week. Focus on single-leg strength and spring: split squats or step-ups, single-leg glute bridges, calf raises, a hamstring move (sliding curls or single-leg deadlift), a plank, plus 2 sets of low-volume pogo hops or bounds done crisp and fresh. Give each exercise sets and reps or a hold time in seconds, rest in seconds, and keep the jumping low-volume.

Works with Claude, Gemini, Grok or any AI.

Why it's built this way

Strength and a little plyometric work improve running economy — each stride uses less energy — and bodyweight single-leg work plus light jumps deliver this without a gym. The gains take 8–12 weeks and are real but modest.
