Whether you are a professional runner, or you run for fitness or fun, nothing is ever as it seems when it comes to running.

Secret weapon for all runners

Do you wish to run longer, faster, and harder?

The secret isn't just more running. Its never that simple.

The true trick is spending time in the squat rack. Building your leg muscles means more power output for faster runs and more force absorption for less injuries.

Adding heavy lower-body exercises will also develop your slow-twitch muscle fibers for those long runs.

Finally, because you’ll add more absolute strength, each step you take will be of less intensity so you can last longer.

This ultimate work-out routine is the secret weapon you need to enhance your running.

So here's how it works:

This isn’t your normal leg workout . Here the aim is to develop real strength and work capacity with lots of strength and volume. Go heavy, but don’t compromise technique or the rest periods.

This program focuses heavily on the total-body exercises that strengthen your quads, hamstrings, and glutes in good proportion.

It also fires the stabilizer muscles that improve your balance, mobility, and movement and keep your joints happy.

Then, you’ll interchange heavy lifts with breathing exercises to help you reset, tone down your muscles, lower your heart rate, and stay calm so you can come back and perform like a beast.
