You begin Phase 1, the Stability phase, when you start your run training program. We’ve found that early in a training plan, you need to work on your stabilizers so you can hold your body in the correct position while running. The Stability phase lays the foundation for the next phases and fits perfectly with the workouts early in your training plan.

Phase 2 – Strength

After building stability early in your training plan, your strength training plan will now advance to the Strength phase. Now that you are stable, let’s get strong! Similar to your run training plan, you’ll build the strength to get you to the finish line. As with the Stability phase, the Strength phase contains two programs – Program A and Program B – and we’ll tell you which to perform and when.

Phase 3 – Power & Peaking

Later in your running and strength training plan, it’s about translating the strength you built early into power for fast racing. Phase 3 includes the exercises that help bring your strength training to a peak just as you are bringing your run training to a peak. Then, we’ll show you exactly how to taper your strength training like you do your run training so you are ready for a peak running performance!

BONUS – Maintenance Phase

Another key benefit of the Strength in Stride program is that when you complete your race, you’ll move to the Maintenance phase to make sure you maintain your fitness gains while you are in between race plans.

Workout Details: In each phase, you’ll enjoy two different programs and we’ll tell you exactly which program to do when. You’ll start with lower reps and sets and progress to more reps and sets. Expect to spend between 10 and 20 minutes on each routine (shorter when starting each phase and longer at the end of each phase). You should do this routine 1-3 times per week. The end goal is to have a strength program that works with not against your running program. And because each program and each phase is different, you stay motivated for the next session.
