It's back to school time, which means busy days and schedule changes for teachers and parents alike! This four-week plan, written by HAX Coach and full-time teacher Christine Thorn, is designed to help runners of all ability levels navigate this transition with structure and grace until your new routines are set.
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.
