What's included

Your strength and run programs are written together from your testing results, so the gym work supports your running week and every session has a purpose.

Individualised run coachingCoach Riley writes your run plan in TrainingPeaks and adjusts it every week around how your training is going.

Testing at the start and endStrength, power, mobility and run technique testing before you start, then a retest after race day so you can see exactly what changed.

Who it's for
