Kinesis Integrated Performance

Marathon, Endurance
Coach
Christopher J Lee

This program is designed specifically to prepare you for the demands of the Marathon! As we all know marathon is notorious for being a huge test of how strong your legs are! Your secret weapon is going to be the weight room!

We have worked with world class marathoners and coached them to massive PR's and records in some major marathons as well! We are taking what we KNOW are key aspects of training for these athletes and bringing them to you!

This isn't another generic program made someone who dabbles in running. We live, breathe and sleep running!

This program is 12 weeks long and has

  • 2 strength sessions a week that are meant to COMPLIMENT your running, not take away from it!
  • 2 mobility sessions a week to make sure we are not getting stiff and preventing injury!
  • 2 dedicated foam rolling sessions to make sure we are taking care of those muscles!

LETS GET AFTER IT!
