temp-post-image




It’s cold, dark, and you can’t do what you love the most which is running and cycling. I know it’s lame and you miss the long rides/runs in the sun. This might seem like a very unproductive time of the year for endurance athletes but that is far from true.


This is the perfect time to cross train, work on those weaknesses that have been holding you back, and set yourself up for many successful races this upcoming season. You have developed a tremendous capacity for endurance work and now it’s time to focus on strength, stability, injury prevention, and mobility.



You know that hill that always hits you like a ton of bricks and forces you to downshift?



Strengthening your hamstrings, glutes, and quads will help you conquer that hill next summer.

You know those nagging aches and pains from long distance running that you’ve pushed through too many times?



That can be greatly reduced by improving mobility, stability, and strengthening your core.



This 3-week program will improve your endurance performance by focusing on



  • Posture and shoulder mobility
