It’s a well-structured strength program designed to help runners get stronger, more powerful, and resilient. If you’re a runner or hybrid athlete wondering what kind of lifting you actually need, this is for you. We’ll cover the key elements that matter most: building strength, incorporating power and plyometrics, and including single-leg and calf work to support your performance on the road or trail.
