Level: Beginner

Duration: 6 weeks

Each week, you will have: 

• 4 runs (outdoor)

• 2 strength training workouts (weights & bodyweight)

• 1 mobility/flexibility workout.

Description:

This program has a combination of running workouts (easy effort, speed work, and endurance runs), strength training (weights and bodyweight), and mobility training. It’s great for a beginner runner who is looking to add in structure to their weekly routine: learn when to run, when to strength train, and when to rest. If you’ve been running about 2-3 times a week, this is a great progression! The purpose of this program is to help you build a solid foundation to run longer distances, more comfortably. The runs start with a walk/run interval style, and gradually build in terms of distance, running duration, and time. The strength training includes weight training to help improve strength, power, and prevent common overuse injuries, like shin splints, ITBS, and knee pain.

Equipment:

Kettlebell or dumbbell, foam roller, yoga block, mini resistance bands (purchase HERE) , a box or bench, and a mat.
