Legacy Strength & Conditioning

The Legacy Running Program is a program designed for the beginner to intermediate athlete to improve their running ability.

It covers a 12 week progressive training cycle which increases in volume and intensity culminating in a test week in the final week.

The program is delivered through the Train Heroic App. A best in class software that allows you to track and take your training anywhere with you!

The program features four sessions weekly:

1 Sprint Session. 1 Interval Session. 2 Easy Effort Distance Sessions.

This program has been designed for those who struggle to follow a structured running program and often find themselves disappointed with their results. Many runners often complain of overuse injuries and pain whilst running. We have programmed these sessions too offset this as much as possible and to ramp up the mileage gradually rather than throwing you in at the deep end.

We know that through following this program you will see a huge improvement in your running ability and we cant wait to see your results!

Explanation

A

The first session of the week will be Sprints. Sprints are essential for developing explosive power and speed and translate well into our longer distances. Sprints also allow us to generate a high level of adaptation with a minimal amount of stimuli. These are best performed either on a track or a sports field.
