We’ve all been there… feeling a bit more achy in the mornings, a bit clumsier on our runs, needing an extra day or two to recover from our long runs and feeling as if you’re running slower.
Here’s how:
Strength training for runners at any age is invaluable. Period.
However for you reading this aged over 30, it’s even more important and here are 5 reasons why:
1. You’ve started to naturally lose muscle mass.
2. Most running overuse injuries occur over 30 - research shows that 34-36 is the typical age for runners.
3.. Improve your body’s mechanics- avoid trips and falls.
4. Improve your body’s composition- lean and strong!
5. Your peak bone mass has been reached at 30 and it begins to decline at 35.
There’s no supplement, training tool or performance enhancer out there that you could buy that will give you this return on your investment, nor at this price!
Our 12-Week Proven System is designed for busy runners like you. It's helping runners over 30 around the world:
🏅 Hit New PRs
⏳ Run Longer
💪 Make Niggles a Thing of the Past
… in just 1 hour a week for 12 weeks (that’s just under 0.6% of your whole week!)
You can expect to be running your best with just 2x 30-40 minute strength and conditioning sessions made for runners.
- Like Christie, a beginner runner with an office job who’s hitting 30km weeks with no injury.
- And James, who would seem to get injured at anything beyond 55km weeks, suffering from calf pain and Achilles tendinopathy, he’s now regularly running 60km weeks free from injuries and niggles.
- And Stephen, a masters runner who is achieving better age-graded results than ever before.
You may be thinking: “I don’t have time to strength train.” or “I’ve tried strength training before and it just left me sore.”
I hear you and literally have devoted my professional career to helping runners just like you with this.
Here’s the thing - you’ve never followed a program MADE for runners. I’m talking the real nitty gritty: your exercise selection, the number of sets, the number of repetitions, the rest period between sets, the effort level you should be working at. All the fine details that really add up and are the difference between you hitting your run workout the next day or not.
Any old plan will not suffice because these plans simply don’t know what it’s like to strength train and then run 13 miles the next day. I know, because I do it regularly and help many runners to do so too.
Where many runners go wrong is that they try to do too much in their strength sessions. You’re so used to pushing yourself when pounding the pavements and trails that it feels a little alien to take a step back and not have to leave a sweat puddle on the floor after each session. This can be anything from turning strength sessions into HIIT workouts, switching exercises week to week, feeling compelled to lift heavier week on week to thinking you need to spend hours in the gym.
Strength training doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming and with BUILT TO RUN OVER 30: BELLS & BANDS this won’t be the case. We train smarter, not harder and your strength sessions will support your running training and performance.
The outcome: You are BUILT TO RUN.
All you need?
Dumbbells or Kettlebells and a small resistance band.
