A mix-up of high-intensity psychometric exercises into your charity running training routine will build improve your balance,  increase stamina as well as building strength. 
If you want to run your fastest time at your charity run or your furthest distance without getting injured, strength training is the secret key ingredient  to unlocking your true charity running  potential. The best bit about jumping your way to fitness with high intensity means you pack more power into your minutes.The length of your workout may be short, however you will burn an incredible amount of calories and build a greater amount of muscles. 
Make sure you’re warmed up before approaching your jumping exercises. We highly recommend starting out with some dynamic active stretches and a relaxed 10-minute run. 
Make sure you jump continuously for 30 seconds with a rest for 10 seconds before moving on to the new move. Once a round of three is completed, rest for one minute and repeat x2. If 30 seconds is too difficult, try three jumps, then rest and see how you get on.

Top Run for Charity Jumping Exercises

Knee-tuck jumping

Calling all charity runners - get ready to jump. The jumping tuck will tire you out, but is fantastic for your overall body fitness. The key with this jumping exercise is gaining great momentum with your arms and this will  propel you further and higher into the sky, it also helps to  bring your legs up into a tucked position as you bring both arms down. 
Make sure you’re landing correctly and gracefully  to prevent any injuries - think charity running twinkle toes. 
Star jumping for joy
Remember this move from school?.... and believe it or not, it doubles up as a pretty nifty fat-burning tool if you put it into charity running training. Aim to jump 1 foot into the air with your legs and arms pointing out 45 degrees.
Upon landing, draw your arms into your body as you land into a squat position with your upper body bent forwards to meet your knees. Keep up this jumping exercise for 30 seconds and star jump your way to charity running success! 

Jumping super squats

These Super Squats are great for your glutes, quadriceps, hamstrings and your core muscles. For an even more intense burst for your muscles - add in a jump!  

Firstly, make sure you’re following the squatting position correctly by checking the details below: 
·         Feet hip-width apart, pointing slightly outwards.
·         Look up and bend down as if sitting on a seat
·         Do not not bent too far forwards, don’t extend knees beyond toes.
·         Your back must be in a neutral position, avoid arching your spine. 
Squat down with your arms reached out at front. Raise up from the squat,  and into a jump with arms by your side. Lower straight into the 2nd squat jump and repeat for 60 secs.
