Black Iron Run + Lift

Black Iron Training

Coach

Chris Bonilla

This program is for lifters who want to be in shape, and runners who want to be strong. If you’re a runner, you’ve probably heard that lifting makes you bulky and slow, and if you’re a lifter you’ve probably heard that cardio kills gains. Luckily, neither of these things are true. With this expertly written program, we balance the unique stresses of running and lifting so that you can get the best of both worlds. Research shows that the health benefits of lifting AND running far outweigh the benefits of doing either alone. So if you want to be your fittest, fastest, and strongest self, this program is for you.

This 5x/week program is split into 2-3 weekly running days and 2-3 weekly lifting days. The running days all incorporate three workout options based on the distance you are training for or your current running ability (5k, 10k, half marathon).

FAQs

Are the workouts sent out daily?

The workouts are published every Sunday for the upcoming week! This gives our clients the flexibility of moving sessions around for that week while staying on track for that current cycle!

What if I can’t workout on the assigned day?

No problem! You can move that workout to a different day and still record all your stats as usual!

Do I have to wait to start at the beginning of a cycle?

No you don't. It’s best to jump in when you sign up! We understand everyone may not start at the beginning of a cycle, however, our programs are all periodized and based on progression so you will benefit from starting as soon as you join.
