HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT THAN LVL 1?
-This adds 1 extra strength day so you are at 3 full body strength days instead of 2.
-This also adds more variety/intensity/length to your runs. Varying fartleks, progressions, tempos, etc.
-This is PRIME if you have been consistently running 2-3 days/week and are wanting to take your structure to the next level..
WHO IS THIS PROGRAM FOR?
-People who want to run AND lift consistently ..not just one or the other
-Someone currently running 1–2 days per week casually and lifting 2–3 days per week
-Anyone spending roughly 2–3 hours per week exercising across both modalities
-People training for quality of life, longevity, and general fitness .. not a specific race
Someone comfortable running 20–30 minutes continuously and lifting with foundational movements
WHO IS THIS NOT FOR?
-Complete beginners to running who cannot run 20 minutes continuously.. start with LVL 1
-Anyone currently training for a specific race .. use the dedicated running programs for race prep
-People already running 4+ days per week ..you are ready for Level 3 or 4
