Push-up training, particularly in the beginning, shares some features with sprinting. Push-ups are a great warm-up exercise, as well as strengthen not only the pectorals, but also shoulders and triceps as well.
It is a great exercise for building core strength between the torso, hips and legs and torso, shoulders, chest and arms.
With push-ups, putting hands together than shoulder-width will put more emphasis on triceps. Push-ups and overall strength can be improved by actually making them harder by adding more weight.
Push-ups benefit a runner by strengthening the upper body and abdominals, ensuring proper posture. The technique involved in completing a push-up is similar to the position of the upper body during ruining, so the exercise reinforces correct posture.
