About Our Runner Strength Training Programs

Dumbbell Strength Training For Runners

This 12-week strength program is perfect for runners looking to integrate simple, functional strength work into their training. The program is 12 weeks long and consists of 2 weekly workouts with an optional third (core and pre-hab) workout. Each workout takes 30-45 minutes, and the only equipment needed is a pair of dumbbells, a bench, a foam roller, and mini bands. One can easily do these workouts at any LA Fitness, 24-Hour Fitness, YMCA, Hotel Gym, etc. The best part about the program is that because the movements are functional patterns, it will also help you bulletproof your body against injury while making you perform better.

Bulletproof Runner pre-hab program

This is a 4 week runner pre-hab protocol. The goal here is to make all the small stabilizer runner muscles strong. Often times imbalances in these muscles lead to injuries and this program will address all of them. Become a bulletproof runner in just four weeks!

Testimonials

I used the Go Far beginner marathon training program to train for my first marathon, which was also the Boston Marathon. I am happy to report I crushed my goal, got stronger and still had enough time to be a good dad and be the president of a company.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our workouts are 45-60 minutes in length (both running and lifting).

All programs require resistance bands, dumbbells or kettlebells and a lacrosse ball or foam roller. 

While no gym is required, some exercises will likely be harder to progress over the 4 week program without heavier weights than you might have at home.

There are three strength or HIIT (high intensity interval) workouts per week that involve strength training. Every workout has a warm-up and cool down. Strength workouts will have 4-5 exercises and our running workouts have running at different paces that are set by using our pace calculator. 

Yes! The great thing about strength training is that the need of the beginner and advanced lifer vary by degree and not kind. So if you are new you might be doing 20 air squats while a salty vet will be doing 20 goblet squats at a tempo with a heavy DB to get the same intended result.

Absolutely! There is always the RPE (perceived exertion) scale that you can use.
