Home-Based 10km Race Strength Training Plan
Brokk Online
EnduranceGet stronger, run faster.
Most training plans created for runners are full of gimmicks and needless complexity. To improve your running performance you need to increase your absolute strength, power output and plyometric capacity.
This is a 6 week strength, power and plyometric program for runners or endurance athletes who can't get to a gym.
This is a 3 days per week program.
In each week,
Day 1 will prioritize strength.
Day 2 will be core, glute and foot conditioning, designed to prevent injury.
Day 3 will be power and plyometric training.
This program has been written to allow for progressive overload with limited equipment.
This plan works for an athlete at any level who is looking to get stronger. It is programmed with a taper in week 6 to allow the athlete to do a test run or cycle at the end of this week, or even an organized race.
Please note that on the app the programming will appear in a much neater way than the 'sample week' area on this site.
