Healthy Runner Strength is a self-paced 12-week or 16-week step-by-step video/spreadsheet training program focused on IMPLEMENTING life-changing run specific workouts to improve your strength and confidence for your running.

The first 6 weeks you will build your foundation and the second 6 weeks you will learn a new routine of exercises to continue progressing your strength all the while keeping things fresh along the way!

We have videos of the individual exercises, introduction preview videos of each workout, and full length pre-recorded videos to do the workouts with me coaching you through!

We have spreadsheets and clickable exercise video links guiding you through a self paced workout providing structure and taking the guesswork out of what exercises you should be doing on which days.

I am 100% focused on helping you get stronger as a runner so you can continue pounding the pavement doing what you love.

This program will guide you to implement run specific exercises to adopt a new level of confidence and strength with your running.

Next, I'll help you understand the importance of implementing strength exercises into your training so you can take control over your health as a runner.

Each workout will include a 5 minute dynamic warmup, foam rolling exercises for your top 5 running muscles, 60 minute total body strength based workout, and stretching exercises to cool down. 

This is a no-judgement, no-excuses program, centered on moving you toward complete control of your health regardless of where you're starting.

About 3-4 hours/week for 12 weeks.  You will do 3 workouts per week and each will take 60-90 minutes to complete.  

However, this is a self-paced program, so you can absolutely break up some of the workouts to do shorter and or longer sessions.  You can even skip the warm up or the the cool down if you need to run to work (though I don't recommend that but have done so myself when pressed for time)

Don't have time to workout 3 days a week and run?  No problem!  I have many of my runners get the same results with doing the program 2x/week.

Since there are 3 different distinct workouts for each phase, I would just rotate through the three of them each time you workout.

Absolutely.  The first half of the program is focused on building your foundation and will get your strength dialed in like you never experienced.  

I also provide you options for each exercise to make it harder or easier depending on your level of fitness.

The workouts will be challenge for you  whether you are a beginner or have been exercising in the gym for 20 years like myself.

You may even come out of it with some ideas of how to shake up your current workout routine that you've been wanting to do for years...

No, actually the best time to start a strength training program is before or at the start of your running journey!

Strength training bullet proofs your body to tolerate the demands of running as you increase your mileage.

By doing the exercises in this program you will build up your running muscles and help prevent the common running injuries I see all the time in my clinic.

Not much!  These workouts were designed to be done in your home but you can also do them in a gym.

If you can get your hands on a pair of lighter dumbells and 1 heavier dumbell or kettlebell that will be helpful.  However, as you will see in the videos, I have been creative and used a Home Depot bucket and filled it with bricks as well as using a maul axe as a kettlebell since I couldn't get my hands on one at the onset of COVID during the BETA program last spring. 

Other equipment that I would recommend is a foam roller, set of resistance tubing with handles, exercise miniband (for those important hip muscles), and a yoga or exercise ball. 

If you do not have one of these pieces of equipment that is o.k. I give you options to do alternative exercises. 

I also give you options if you have access to a pullup bar, TRX straps, and a "Reebok" Step.

The key to getting stronger as a runner is leveraging your body weight as resistance and training on one leg (like you are when you run)... This will add a SPARK to your muscles and improve your confidence and strength for your runs so you legs won't feel so heavy.

You can start whenever you feel you can do some type of exercise.  I would defer to your specific medical provider to find out what not to do.

Depending on what body part is injured, this program will actually help you get back to running sooner.

These are the exercises I give my runners when they are injured with the necessary modifications during our physical therapy sessions.

For example, if you had a stress fracture or plantar fasciitis in your foot then all the upper body, core, and hip exercises would be great to do while your foot is healing.  This will help keep your total body fitness up as well as your mental sanity!

Yes!  I will walk you step by step through everything to get started.  You've got this!

Absolutely.  I HIGHLY encourage you to through this program with a workout buddy to keep you accountable.  There's no additional cost to have your spouse/ significant other or even your kids join in on getting healthy.

I'd be honored if you'd invite your friends/ other family members not living in your house to go on this journey with us.

Please feel free to send them the link to this page.  All I am asking is that all friends/ family (other than those in your household) sign up individually.

You'll get ongoing access to the course, and all materials.

Yes! I've added a 3-month payment plan (see the top of this page) to make it an easy choice.

If you're in a spot where you truly can't afford this right now based on the crazy circumstances we're in, I want to help.

I've set aside a few spots for people who are in dire circumstances.

Please reach out to me in Facebook Messenger and we'll make it happen.
