Achieve your best race yet with a 13-week strength program built from over 15 years of endurance experience, including my own as a competitive triathlete. This program is tailored specifically for distance runners, combining proven periodisation with precision to enhance strength, power, and running efficiency.

Each session has a RAMP protocol warm up to prime your body for movement. A plyometric section to enhance explosive power, improve running efficiency, and reduce the risk of injury, a strength section aimed specifically at enhancing your running and a cool down to ensure you're ready to go for the next session.

Each phase compliments your in-season running program, helping you stay strong, injury-free, and primed to peak for your 5K, cross country or half marathon or marathon.

This program is periodised into an accumulation phase(4 weeks), transmutation phase(4 Weeks), realisation phase(4 Weeks)and a restoration phase(1 Week)

Designed by an runner, for runners, this program ensures every session moves you closer to your goals with the specificity that runners deserve. At $130 for the entire 13 week program, this is broken down into just $43/month. With 3 sessions a week, this is just a little over $3.50 per session!
