FAQs
Who is this training for?
Beginner and would-be runners hoping to use running as part of their exercise regimen for fitness and aesthetic goals. Experienced and intermediate runners looking to bust through plateaus and hit performance goals.
What if I have bad knees?
Injury happens in the gap between what we are currently prepared for, and the increased demands of the task at hand. Specific strength training coupled with progressive running workouts will build you the capacity to not only work hard, but withstand the stress of running and improve joint health.
Do I have to train 5x a week?
No. You can stretch out the calendar to fit the demands of your lifestyle, taking more days off whenever you need to. You have access to the app for one calendar year and the PDF is yours forever.
Do I have to run?
Definitely not! All running prescriptions can be substituted with another cyclical cardio modality like rowing or biking.
