This is a plan for an experienced track athlete who has a few years of experience. Sprint-based 800m athletes may find this volume-heavy, though aerobic strength will help in the short and long term. Athlete will need a pair of trainers and would benefit greatly from training flats and spikes to use aside from their race spikes.
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.
