Strong is FAST program
Myth #1: Lifting weights is bad for endurance runners.
Myth #2: I’ll gain weight if I lift heavy.
Myth #3: When it comes to endurance training, more is better.
“Strong is FAST” is my new program that pushes the envelope in what we believe endurance training should be. When we picture an endurance runner, most of us think of an emaciated cross country kid who got his lunch money stolen from him in high school. Unfortunately, most running coaches believe that upper body strength, or any true strength for that matter, isn’t a priority nor is it beneficial. Instead, the endurance athlete is pounded into submission with volume, albeit while executed with improper technique and upon a weak foundation to support him/her self. The result is lack of turnover/range, sub-maximal genetic performance, poor strength to weight ratio and a host of injuries waiting in the fray.
My program will not only make you a faster runner/endurance athlete, it will do so with 30-50% less time and volume.
How do I know? I struggled for years with injuries incurred from high volume programs. After finding CrossFit, I gained a lot of strength and learned how to “move” properly in ways that benefited me as a runner. However, implementing it all into my program was a learning process. The Strong is FAST program is a result of that learning process.
Now I experience the “high” of being fast on the track and the trail while enjoying the feeling and confidence of being STRONG. This program combines the best of both worlds.
I can do the same for you.
Whether you’re training for a the Double Dipsea or your first 5k, I love helping others get stronger and faster while staying healthy and injury free.
If this sounds like it may be something for you, send me an email at brendonmahoney@hotmail.com.
Hope to hear from you.
