Don’t Get Injured Before Your Half Marathon!
Did you know that up to 1/4 of runners pull out of half marathon races due to injury?!
Most running injuries are avoidable and caused by simple training mistakes. Errors like running too often, having too many repetitive workouts, and not strength training enough are the most common reasons runners get injured.
The Half Marathon Strength Training program will reduce your injury risk by giving you the most effective exercises you should be doing as a runner in preparation for a half marathon.
Most online half marathon training programs focus only on the running – and feature the same type of running workouts several times per week – sometimes as often as 5 or 6 days a week. But running that often, especially at a consistent pace, is very taxing on the body and significantly increases your risk of getting injured.
Our program is unique. We don’t just tell you how many miles you should run each week. Instead, we:
give you a variety of different running workouts each week (intervals, tempo, fartlek, hills and long runs)
incorporate a mix of running, cross-training, strength training and stretching workouts
gradually increase training load and have strategic recovery weeks
include a structured strengthening program - focusing on core and leg strength
guide you through stretching and foam rolling exercises to soothe sore muscles

Thank you for this program. I like that it is structured with progression and with a balance on all relevant muscle groups.
Excellent online strength course for runners. Great videos explaining the movements and principles. Very well rounded and the workouts change each week to give you variety.
Loved this program! The strength workouts have been a great addition to my training and really improved my running. I ran my 5th half marathon last weekend and PR’d 8 minutes!
