Coaches
Milo and Alex

This off season program is for the everyday runner and athlete, who is committed to staying healthy and seeing PR's for years to come. Running is a demanding sport, and it often creates imbalances and overuse injuries. But on the other hand it is one of the most accessible sports, and without a doubt the most effective way to stay on top of your health! We think running is a fantastic tool and it should be something we look forward to doing. The goal of the off season is for you to get strong so that you can come into the season ready to crush your workouts with some new found strength! The eternal question has always been, can you really get strong and fit at the same time? We believe in having a balance, and that means tackling the off-season with a clear goal in mind. Get strong! We will work to keep up your fitness, and running shape while working hard to bring those strength numbers up.

Hope you enjoy it!

Get Stronger Than Ever!
Strength is the base for almost everything we do, so it is well worth your time to build a strong foundation! It takes time to get strong but on the plus side strength gains are very resilient, meaning that you can always ease out of it once you start running or training more, and then build upon it again next off-season.

Stay fit, and Enjoy your Fitness!
Even though it is not the main goal of this program, we still need to maintain our fitness levels. It not only helps us feel better in our daily lives, but it will also allow us to recover faster.

Run Less to Run More
Sound counterintuitive but it is important to give your joints and muscles a break from running if you are committed to long-term health and development. There are other ways to work in your conditioning.
