Hammer & Axe – TrainingPeaks

 Hammer & Axe Training was born out of a vision shared by a handful of elite distance runners. We found, in our own training, that we ran our best when we committed to training our speed and strength equally. A focus on strength made us durable, strong, and prepared for the adversity that racing brings—we were reliable like a hammer. A focus on speed made us confident, efficient, and ready to move when the right moment arrived—we were sharp like an axe. We wanted to bring this feeling of speed and strength to as many runners as possible.

 We are a collective of elite runners who have found joy, connection with others, and endless life through running. We are World Championship Qualifiers, USATF Champions, All-Americans, State Champions and Record Holders, but most importantly, we are runners and share the same struggles that you do. We hope to use our experience in the sport to help runners of all ages and abilities to find a love for running. Through motivation, accountability, and informed training plans, our group hopes to help as many people find running as possible
