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. 🔐

STRENGTH + ENDURANCE = RESILIENCE

Why Do Strength Training?
Running is a demanding sport with each foot strike generating 1.2-3x bodyweight through the lower limb... Strength training helps to keep the body more resilient and ready to take this kind of pounding! It is also well know to... - Improve Running Form - Increase VO2 Max - Improve Anaerobic Function - Improve Body Composition & more!

FAQs
Do I need to be a member of a gym?
No. All of the workouts are designed so that they can be done from home using bodyweight or easy to get hold of equipment. However the gym is a great place to keep you focused on your sessions so we always recommend it!
Will it make me muscular and heavy?
This is not a bodybuilding program, it is not designed to make you put on mass or large amounts of muscle. This is a Strength & Conditioning plan designed to make you a better & more resilient runner. Professional runners perform similar S&C and how many of them look like Arnie..?!
Is it just core & squats? I already do that...
S&C involves a lot more than just core & squats. We will work on your upper body strength to improve running posture; do plyometrics to make your stride more efficient; lower limb capacity to help mitigate injury and much, much more.
