Strength Training for Runners Workshop

Enhance your running performance and prevent injuries! This specialized workshop is designed to help runners of all levels build the strength, stability, and endurance needed for optimal running efficiency.

In this workshop, you'll learn targeted exercises that focus on key muscle groups used in running, including the core, glutes, legs, and upper body. Our lead trainer, Mark Akin, will guide you through a series of strength training routines tailored specifically for runners, helping you develop a balanced and resilient body.

Whether you're preparing for your first 5K or you're a seasoned marathoner, incorporating strength training into your regimen can take your running to the next level. Join us to discover how building muscle can improve your speed, increase your endurance, and reduce your risk of injury.
