Get Strong
Strength is one of the most crucial under-emphasized element in most runner's regimens. One needs to be *strong* to power up that hill, persevere through mileage, and finish impressively through the finish line.
benefit-image-1
Get Mobile
Your ability to run without pain and with correct technique is largely based on your body's capabilities to move in a full range of motion. By incorporating mobility training in your daily regimen you will increase range of motion, feel better, and perform better.

Get Strong Resilient Feet and Toes.
Your ankles, feet, and toes are literally the first thing to hit the ground and the last thing to leave it. By giving them the extra love, you are allowing for full body optimization. This is especially important for those running barefoot and/or in minimalist shoes.

Get Faster!
Running by definition is a dynamic sport. It is an adventure full of ups and downs, slows and fasts. Increasing your technique and speed is crucial to becoming the best runner you can be.

I have a race day or competition coming up, how should I go about it?
You can taper down the program and focus on keeping the strength days as far away from race day as possible. You can also do the active recovery day and mobility as prep for the race day.
I have never done serious strength training before and am scared too.

"Sean's program and his guidance allowed me to get back to training after a knee injury. I went from barely being able to do a 5k to completing a barefoot half marathon. I'm confident that following his regimen will get me to marathon distances regularly and without pain."

"I used to think all I needed to do to get better at running was run, but I was not strong, immobile, in pain and couldn't even carry my groceries home. Now I am strong, pain free, resilient and can outrun all the boys."
