This is for the athlete looking to contribute to scoring for his XC team. It assumes one or more seasons of experience in the sport and prior completion of summer miles. Athlete will benefit from training flats along with his trainers, but they are not entirely necessary.
Hammer & Axe Training was born out of a vision shared by a handful of elite distance runners. We found in our 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. A focus on speed made us confident, efficient, and ready to move when the right moment arrived. We wanted to bring this feeling of speed and strength to as many runners as possible.
