Build the strength you need to run further, climb better, and stay injury-resistant with this focused 12-week programme designed specifically for endurance athletes. This isn’t gym-bro lifting or random circuits — it’s targeted, progressive strength work that directly supports running performance.
Across 12 weeks, you’ll develop:
• Stronger legs and glutes for climbing, descending, and sustaining pace
• A resilient core that keeps your posture solid deep into long runs
• Improved stability and balance for technical terrain
• Tough connective tissue that reduces injury risk and supports higher training loads
Each week includes simple, efficient sessions you can complete at home or in the gym, with clear video-supported exercises and structured progression. No fluff — just strength that translates to better running.
Perfect for trail runners, ultra runners, and anyone wanting to become a stronger, more durable athlete.
Delivered via Training Peaks this plan will have you bouncing down the trail in no time (12 weeks to be exact)!
At Beyond Ultra we offer a range of training plans and coaching for a mix of athletes and events. Whilst we specialise in mountain ultra, we also coach people towards their first half marathon.
