Can I combine this with my running? Yes, you should! This program is designed to make you a better, more resilient and efficient runner. You can do this all year round, doesn't matter if you are training for a 10k or an ultra.
Running on its own can be hard on your joints and it is catabolic, which means you not only lose fat, but you lose muscle too. Having a healthy amount of functional muscle not only looks good, but it is vital for optimal health- including hormonal balance and metabolic health.
Being strong greatly reduces your risk of injury but you also need to have acceptable mobility otherwise injury is inevitable. Which is why we give you 2x weekly mobility workouts to do on your rest days. And to round it off you will have access to an easy to do injury prevention program. This won't leave you tired but it does take a little longer. Nice low impact workouts to do on any day. It can be split in two to fit in with any schedule. A nice 'side effect' of this program is that it firms your butt and sculpt your abs!
