This is month 5 of the Run Strong program. We advise you to complete month 1, 2, 3 & 4 prior to starting.
This month has 3 weekly sessions. A change in focus occurs in the month 5, with the two key focuses now
being strength & power. The previous 4 months should have built foundations to make this month be your
best one yet! Ensure you are confident in what you are doing and the desired outcomes of the movement
before executing. As always, a flexibility session is included which we recommend you do as much as you
can. All exercises are clickable just in case you are not familiar with the exercise.
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 program uses body weight, boxes, 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. There is no ‘taper week’ on this month, which should be taken into
consideration when planning it in your training around events.
