Gal Gadot has postedĀ a video revealing the intensiveĀ training she has undertaken in preparation for her new film,Ā The Runner, which comes out next month.
The Israeli star ofĀ Wonder WomanĀ will play a lawyer forced to dash across London under the orders of a criminal who has abducted her son.
A TikTok clip posted by the actress, 41, showed her skippingĀ and running under the watchful eye of her trainer, formerĀ Olympic athlete Malachi Davis, 48.Ā
In one shot Gadot runs while beingĀ held back by an elastic rope; another shows her interval training in which she stops, starts and runs at different speeds.
Davis is a retired sprinter who competed in the 2004 Summer Olympic GamesĀ representing Great Britain.
Davis, along with fellow athlete Joanna Hayes, went on to found Formula Gold, a sports performance company that uses Olympic training methods and workouts.
@galgadot For The Runner I had to become a runner š šš»āāļø A lot of early mornings, a lot of miles, and a lot of work went into this one. Couldnāt have done it without #MalachiDavis pushing me the whole way! š¤ #aloyoga #aloambassador ā¬ Montagem da Chupeta - Lthiago
For Gadot, running does not come naturally. Speaking in a teaser for theĀ film, she says: āIām not a runner. I hate to run. How will I be able to do this entire film running?ā
The Runner is out on Prime on September 2.
