LRP Phase 1
Lift.Run.Perform
**The monthly lift plan is the perfect option for the runner looking to supplement their training to become stronger and more resilient. **
This is a progressive overload program, focusing on everything a runner specifically needs - with an emphasis on core and single-legged movements.
My goal is to help you feel like an athlete in the gym - so when you get to the roads, you're more confident and ready to run fast.
**The program duration is 4-5 weeks, with 2 workouts per week, + a warmup. **
The workouts will take between 30-40 minutes (but, of course, there is a learning curve to start, and your first workouts might take a little longer).
**Equipment Needed: **
- Free weights (DBs or KBs), a band, and a bench
- A 6-8lb medball and pull-up bar are optional

Mary Johnson
USATF & VDOT certified coach and Founder of Lift.Run.Perform. Learned the ins and out of strength training from working on the floor at Ranfone Training Systems. As a mom of 2, I'm training to find the strongest version of myself and believe my fastest running times are yet to come.
Imagine heading out for your daily run without any of the nags or aches that normally bother you. What if you made lifting a routine part of your training...instead of something you randomly do. Aim to become a stronger athlete, and fast running will follo
