This is month 1 of the Run Strong program. In this document you have the 3 strength and core sessions for
the coming 4 weeks. All exercises are clickable just in case you are not familiar with the exercise.
The next four weeks will focus on stability, posture and flexibility. These three components are essential to
running strong. Pay close attention to the demonstration and instructions. If at any time a movement causes
pain or discomfort (particularly around joints or recently injured areas) stop and get in contact to help solve
the issue.
This block uses body weight, bands, kettlebells and dumbbells. A large focus should be made on form of the
movement. The program is designed to be ’short and sharp’ so you still have time to do your run training
around the additional work. You will notice in week 4 there is no stability session, this to give your body
some rest and well earned recovery. Our advice is you make this a lighter run week and focus on recovering
properly. If building into a race this would also be a ’taper week’ example.
