When it comes to delivering online training programs, the trainer’s goals are simple:

  1. Deliver a program that’s easy to write and easy to follow.

  2. Ensure the trainee gets sweaty and sore each time they train.

And for some people, of course, these programs can work. Hell, if you get sweaty and sore enough, you’re bound to burn calories and get fit.

Sadly, for those who want to follow a program that’s going to tackle the areas of health and fitness that often get overlooked by novice or online trainers, such as breathwork, which have the power to get them physically fitter and metabolically healthier at the same time --- there are very few options.

And if they do find an option, they are expensive. Often $300-$400 per month or more.

But now that’s Endur-Strong.

Endur-Strong is for people who want to get aerobically fit, strong, and durable all at the same time using kettlebells and other equipment they have at home.

Endur-Strong is also the perfect program for those looking to run 5-10K road races or begin to train for a half or full marathon.

30:30 for 20m: Alternate Work sets with either Swings or Get Ups. Switch sides on the Get Up work period as one rep should take the entire 30 seconds.

Coaches
coach-avatar Joe DiStefano

Joe has been coaching high performing, collegiate, and professional athletes for nearly two decades. And as years of attempting to train athletes who were simultaneously attempting to manage recurring injuries, gut problems, emotional issues, and the like - his specialty evolved into the development of unconventional approaches that allowed athletes to train hard but still live well.

coach-avatar Marissa Estep

Marissa has run countless obstacle, road and trail races over the past 5 years. In this time she coached others to do the same. In that time she realized (from personal experience) that constantly running and adding more miles was not the answer to a good running program, but a good answer to injury. Now she strives to give the best workout programs to prevent injury and maximize results!

FAQs
Signing up for my first marathon. Is this the right program for me?
Yes, especially if you are new to running and this is your first race. This program builds general fitness and prepares you for races up to 10k. If you have not yet built your aerobic base, this is a great place to start.
Will I have access to coaching?
Yes! Joe and Marissa will be on hand to answer any legitimate questions you may have to help you achieve the best results. Now, if it's a question like, "Are you trying to kill me?" that may not be considered a real question (and we promise we aren't!)
Can I switch the equipment I'm using if I have access to all forms?
You can, but we recommend sticking to one form other than running to maximize results! If you want to go through it more than once, you can switch machines then.
Is this just running? Do I need to supplement with other programming?
You should not have to and if you want to avoid under recovery we recommend you don't! This is the whole shabang. Designed to build strength, aerobic capacity and even speed. It has all that you need to support your running needs
