Who this is FOR
You are in the right place if you are:
- Are training for a half marathon or marathon
- Are increasing weekly mileage and want strength to support the load
- Get niggles when long runs build up
- Want a plan that fits around intervals, tempo, and long runs
- Want strength that progresses without ruining recovery
WHAT CHANGES FOR HALF MARATHON AND MARATHON RUNNERS
As volume rises, your strength plan needs to get smarter, not bigger
When mileage goes up, common weak links show up:
- Calf and Achilles capacity under repeated load
- Quads and knees under long run fatigue
- Hip and trunk control late in runs
- Hamstrings and glutes under faster running and fatigue
- Recovery capacity and timing around hard sessions
The goal is to build enough strength to tolerate training, not to win the gym.
How we program strength around race prep
Strength should support your key runs, not compete with them
We build your strength plan around:
- Your weekly running structure
- Key sessions and their recovery demands
- Training phase, including build, peak, taper, and post race
- Your response to load and injury history
- Your equipment and time constraints
Strength is dose managed like running. More is not automatically better.
