For most, winter is behind us (or at least waving goodbye) and that means big objectives, early season races and beefy miles are close, if not already here.

We’ve built a base in a variety of ways through the winter and into the spring, now, as we finalize our launch into the fun stuff on foot, we’re going to lean into some hyper specific strength and plyometric work designed to make sure your first big outings are successful.

Mileage is most likely starting to pile up, so we want to make sure 1) we’re durable and connected to handle it and 2) we’re fresh to perform well on foot. This month, we’ll run through 2 distinct sessions each week. In a perfect world, you’ll do these each twice through the week, with a rest day in between (Monday/Tuesday, Thursday/Friday for example). Each movement has a recommendation for how to progress the session each week included in the prescription.

Train smart, train hard, rip some miles and get to work.
