This training plan is for those that are injured and will likely not be running for around 9 weeks.
Before starting this program, you should be cleared by a medical provider to be able to perform cross training.
Only perform the mode of cross training that you are cleared to do by a medical provider. (i.e. if you are only allowed to do aqua jogging, do not do any elliptical or cycling). This training plan can be completed using any mode of cross training.
This training plan was created by Anthony Camerieri, a professional runner who has used cross training for his entire career, both while healthy and injured, to reach the highest level of the sport.
This training plan was scaled to every week length from 4 to 12 weeks and all are available for purchase. Choose the one that is the length that you will likely be away from running from.
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.
