Are you a runner who knows they should include strength training into their program but doesn’t know where to start? Or maybe you go to the gym, but if anything it’s making your legs MORE sore and you’ve got LESS time for running… THIS ISN’T RIGHT.
We have the solution. We are excited to collaborate with online running community No Club Running Club to guide YOU with the mobility, strength and activation exercises needed to improve your running performance and help mitigate injury.
The plan consists of 3 sessions per week: 1x main session, 2x mini sessions. Training will run in 4-6 week blocks that build week on week so you can feel & see progress. As it isn’t tapered to a specific event, more a general year round plan, you can jump in and out of the program subscription at any point. This is not a bodybuilding or HIIT plan, don’t expect to be blasted or left with jelly legs… it’s designed to support your running, leaving you fresh & energised. You don’t have to do a lot of S&C, it just needs to be effective. 🔐
