Program Description
This 4-week program has been designed for athletes to bridge between seasons. This is a great time in the year to focus on strength training. This aspect of training is important and can sometimes be hard to find time to do when training for a specific event.
The program will require 2-3.5 hours of running per week. If you are new to training, consider starting with the 4-week run/walk program or 8-week base building program. This program is meant for athletes who have just finished a training program and want some gentle structure in between bigger training blocks or as a primer program before they start another one.
Pre-Requisites
