You need a strong foundation to build upon with running. Strength training for runners is often the most neglected piece of training, but is usually the key to staying injury-free. In these 1:1 or small group sessions, runners will experience how to optimally load their muscles, ligaments, tendons, and bones to build a resilient frame. This includes strength training and plyometrics.

When an athlete fuels properly in terms of their nutrition, strength training and plyometrics reinforce their skeletal structure throughout the lifespan. Heavy resistance training and multidirectional/odd impact movements are key to helping build bone mineral density and reducing the risk of bone stress injuries. This is also critical for those who have had a bone stress injury to reduce the risk of future injuries.

Stronger sport-specific muscle groups lead to improved performance. Strength training from a running-specific provider will help improve the strength and endurance of the muscles required to power through miles on the track, trail or road.
