Who's It For?
There's a lot of programs out there, but there are few with the knowledge of a running coach, strength coach and a guy who's felt it all. Literally while typing this, I am healing a broken foot from mountain running a few weeks ago. I've felt it, experienced it, raced it and enjoyed it!
With that said, this program may not be for you so I made a non-exhaustive list of who this program would be great for those:
Who want to learn how to strength train for running.
Want to learn to be safe in the gym.
Wanting to lift weights while training for a race.
Rehabbing through injuries (not physical therapy though)
Wanting to learn how to run faster.
Wanting to learn what workouts are best for that.
Wanting to understand their injury cycle more.
Wanting to mix up the running monotony and just get faster!
Needing to learn how to recover better and rest properly.
Needing to find the joy in their running again.
Needing a fire under their ass!
Common Training Myths
If you're thinking any of the following sentences, I understand. Most runners have these thoughts at some point. Either way, understand further that these are myths. Their your brain telling you not to do something hard and not get uncomfortable.
To get comfortable, you need to get good at being uncomfortable. That my friends is a huge key to success in running. Also consistency, but more on that in the course!
Myth 1:
Lifting will make me bulky.
This is one of my favorites, and one of the biggest modern running myths I hear regularly. Simply put, to bulk up you have to lift a lot of very heavy weights, frequently (several times a week), AND eat more protein than you're eating now.
I guarantee you won't bulk if you listen to what I have to say.
Myth 2:
I’ll get slower when I lift more.
Similar to the last one, but also a myth of it's own because people forget about the other variables of training. Speed being one of the most important. If you're foundations are in line, which most people's aren't, then lifting without the right running won't make you faster in most cases.
HOWEVER, if you train the correct way, you will get faster when adding strength & power exercises to your training.
Myth 3:
Runners are always tight, so why work on flexibility and mobility?
YES, all runners are tight to some degree. There is an element of truth to this for seasoned runners. With that said, the industry is still evolving here and the correct lifting with the correct workouts for certain people haven't been going for long enough.
As well, these training elements are imperative for future running success, and I promise those that work on these while maintaining the correct running program for them, will get faster and succeed at many of their goals.
Myth 4:
I don't have time for strength & speed workouts, I just want to run.
There's always a possibility this is true. I don't know your schedule and you do. A lot of people, however, don't set priorities in line for success, nor do they always schedule their life properly No matter where you lie on this spectrum, you will find benefits from consistently adding these variables into your training.
The choice of how you commit is 100% up to you, BUT I can help with navigate the complexities.
Myth 5:
I have a nagging injury that I don't think strength, speed, and mindset will help with.
All three of these elements are extremely important for your injuries. If you're not in the middle of healing broken bones (like I am 🤣), your body needs strength training to improve tendons and ligaments around the major joint areas (ankle, knees, hips and spine). Gone are the days of just light weights and little resistance band exercises.
Speed, if done properly, can actually help improve your longevity. Not just your performance.
AND…mindset. This is more important than you think. Call it voodoo if you want. Your internal environment dictates a lot about your life, whether you want to admit that or not.
Myth 6:
I've tried other programs and haven't gotten through my injuries. Why will this program work?
I have my Masters in Sports Medicine, and I've been training runners for over 13 years. I have ran somewhere near a total of 35,000 miles myself. I've had every injury in the book basically. and I've coached many runners to success. Anything from Boston Qualifiers, collegiate national qualifiers, and even military physical training tests.
