Here’s the thing…
Most marathon runners think more running = faster results.
But if you don’t build the strength and stiffness to handle and produce force efficiently, you’re leaving speed and performance on the table.
🏋️ Heavy Strength Training:
Improves force production and running economy so you use LESS energy at the same pace.
Why?
• Better force transfer
• Stronger, more resilient tissues
• More stable hips/knees/ankles
• Less breakdown late race
⚡ Plyometric Training:
Plyos teach runners to produce force FAST, critical for running when ground contact times are so short. They improve:
• Elastic return
• Tendon stiffness
• Reactive strength
• Stride power
• Running economy
The goal?
Maximum transfer. Minimum fatigue.
Heavy lifts. Explosive intent. Purposeful plyos.
That’s how you build your next PB. Check out our Runner Strength programs.
