Dr. Caitlin Alexander

This three-month strength program is curated specifically for the endurance athlete to fortify the body for the demands of your sport. It includes two strength sessions a week with bi-weekly progressions and one mobility/recovery session per week.

In my years of experience working with endurance athletes like runners, triathletes and cyclists, I have discovered patterns of dysfunction that can only be addressed through targeted strength and neuromuscular re-training. A generic strength routine just won't cut it, and lifting heavy weights doesn't mean it will translate to improving and enhancing your sport.

Every video in this program is created by Dr. Caitlin Alexander. The first month will work on developing good movement patterns and utilizing muscles you've probably never thought about. The second month will progress into more strength-based movements and then we put that strength into sport-specific coordinated movements in month three.

At $150 for the entire 12-week program, this is broken down into just $50/month. With 3 sessions a week, this is just a little over $4 per session!

Strengthen the Musculoskeletal System

Strength training challenges and fortifies our musculoskeletal system like our muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones. We want strong muscles and bones and stiff tendons to help dissipate the forces we experience in our sports.

Move Better

When it comes to strength training for endurance athletes, movement in all three planes of motion is critical to achieve dynamic stability. It’s important to learn how to move well before we pile on a ton of load. You don't want to shoot a cannon from a canoe!

Improve Endurance

The stronger our body is, the less fatigued we become in training and on race day. Strong muscles help to absorb and dissipate the impact forces we create, which can greatly reduce the stress on other more vulnerable tissues, like our bones and tendons. While we can’t change the reality of a sport like running, we can better prepare your body for it.
