Distance Run: Marathon, Half and 10 Miler
Skills, Strength and Form workouts • 2 Levels Included!
We've developed focused, goal-oriented, complimentary strength and stability routines to prepare you to run your fastest, strongest distance run (marathon, half or 10 miler) yet -- injury-free! You can use this program to compliment your existing run training: whether your training plan is 20 weeks, 18 weeks, 16 weeks, or even 14 weeks long!
Each workout takes ~30-45 minutes, but we also include a "quick version" (12-15 mins) of each routine, so you can fit it in, no matter what life throws your way.
Each of the weekly workouts has a clear, biomechanically-sound rationale for how the moves support your *actual running!* No more wasting time with exercises that don't translate to your primary goal: running strong & injury-free!
Themes include:
✅ Basic Run Strength and Mobility
✅ Single Leg Stability and Rotational Control
✅ Power
✅ Landing Dynamics
✅ High Mileage Recovery and Form Refinement
✅ Race Prep
