It's 10 weeks of continual building to achieve the best performance as possible. Level 3 upgrades to 5 days a week training plan which consists of 3 strength sessions and 3 endurance sessions - meaning 1 stacked training day is on the schedule. The goal of these endurance sessions is to build into a half marathon (13.1 miles) in 10 weeks.
Someone who is hard to kill is an individual who expresses an ability to withstand stress and grow despite adversity - someone who is resilient and tough. The best way to train resiliency and toughness is to focus on these 5 pillars of fitness: Run far, run fast, lift heavy, lift fast, jump often.
Hard to Kill is a training program for anyone looking for an efficient and effective hybrid training program, combining strength with power with endurance. After over 10 years of experience programming with science based methods, the Hard to Kill training split gives a well balanced, detailed weekly structure to improve strength, endurance, athleticism, and body composition.
Hard to Kill is the perfect program for anyone who loves to train hard and train smart. If you're looking for a hybrid program to get you past the plateaus and hurdles of your past fitness programs, then the HTK system is for you. By combining multiple facets of fitness, Hard to Kill will prepare anyone for so many of life's stresses, and more importantly, make you hard to kill.
