Strength for Runners – 12-Week Program Running is tough on the body, and without a solid foundation, it’s easy to end up with plateaus in performance.

This 12-week strength program is designed specifically for runners, focusing on building strength in key muscle groups to improve stability, endurance, and longevity on the road or trail.

You’ll work on lower body resilience, core stability, and joint durability, helping you run stronger, longer, and with fewer injuries.

This program will give you the strength to keep moving forward.

✅ Stronger legs & glutes for power and efficiency ✅ Core stability for better posture and injury prevention ✅ Mobility and balance to reduce stress on joints ✅ A progressive approach that fits alongside your running routine

Train smart. Run strong. Stay in the game.
