Joe Wise

This program is designed for anyone looking to build their full-spectrum energy system development. This program is progressed monthly, through science-based principles, to maximize! No matter your age or training experience, this program will help you get stronger and more conditioned. You will have 24/7 access to us and the WPL Endurance Program Community!

 
This is not your typical running program that uses the same long slow paced runs & plateaus your conditioning development. We program anaerobic (speed & peak), threshold (intensity & consistency) and aerobic (pace & base) work. You will also have cross-training strength work to build injury resilience. We vary our strength work and conditioning every 3-4 weeks. We utilize the Jack Daniel’s VDOT Pacing Calculator to program individualized pacing for all of our conditioning work. You will never be guessing what intensity you should be training at! You will manage your fatigue, feel fresher, and break through plateaus with this innovative programming style!
 
This program is programmed out with 4 days per week of conditioning/running, with 1 day per week of strength work. Each training session generally takes 60 minutes!

FAQs
Who is this program for?
This program is designed for any runner looking to develop a full spectrum energy system! The program uses science-based principles, innovative programming styles, and multifaceted conditioning methods. If you are looking to keep your workouts fresh, manage fatigue, and hit PRs, THIS IS FOR YOU!
Do I have to wait for a new cycle to join?
You can join the program whenever. The programming is progressed monthly but is designed to allow you to hop in at any point. You can adjust your pacing, distances, & weights accordingly. We can also help you adjust the program when you join, if needed!
How much running/lifting experience do I need?
This program is for intermediate runners, with the ability to start out at ~10 miles of running per week. We pride ourselves on giving great exercise instructions to make sure you understand each exercise and intent behind every part of the programming. We also attach videos for every movement!
How many training days a week and what is the weekly milage?
We program out 5 training sessions a week that typically take 60 minutes to complete (from warm up through cool down). This program uses 3-4 conditioning days & 1-2 lifting days per week! Our typical milage for intensity phases ranges from 8-12 mile/wk and for volume phases as high as 20 miles/wk.
How often do the workouts change?
This is not your typical running program that uses the same paces/distances & gets boring. We program multi-system conditioning weekly, while varying our workouts every 3-4 wks. This balances the need for new stimulus (and workout freshness) with the need for consistent progression (pace building)!
Can I use low-impact cardio equipment to complete the workouts?
Absolutely! Although the training sessions are programmed with the intent of on ground/treadmill running, we give specific details to execute every workout with low-impact cardio machines (bike, rower, elliptical, stair master, etc...)!
What if I don't understand a specific movement or part of the program?
Reach out to us on the convenient messaging feature in the app. We will answer all of your questions ASAP. We love chatting with our athletes and clients!
