Run Strong
This is a 24 workout conditioning program that will focus on strengthening the key muscle groups that are required to running safely and with more efficiency. I will instruct you on the critical cueing and focus for each exercise so that it is performed correctly and efficiently. The program will progress from baseline strengthening and motor control to more powerful, dynamic exercises towards the end. It is a self guided format once you watch the videos that describe each exercise.
WEEKLY WORKOUTS: Each workout will have a list of equipment recommended, a list of the workout via the google doc link and a video (YouTube link) that will run through each exercise and how to perform them correctly.
three 20 minute workouts per week
recommended/optional equipment: balance disk, kettle bell or dumb bells, therabands, physioball, box or something to jump over. You could do this at a local gym or at home.
COMMUNITY: Join a Facebook group to share motivation, stoke and stories.

What People Are Saying
'“A huge shout out to that Nordic program!! I’m only a short ways in but it’s fantastic. So well put together. Again, knowing the why behind each exercise really helps connect everything together and makes everything feel more productive. Workout #2 and all its lateral movement totally kicked my butt!! I appreciate the challenge of it and love how each workout covers so many areas. My only regret is not doing all of this sooner!— P.W.
“Being able to keep my upper body stable has unlocked a whole new world! I actually felt leg rotation for the first time! When we did the Tuckerman's tuck time where you rotate your legs. WOW. It took a few times, but I figured it out and it was a revelation when I got on snow!”

“I am an avid mountain athlete...I just wanted to say thanks and that I think the program is awesome, especially for pelvic floor and core. I don’t suspect that you had postpartum athletes in mind when you designed this, but it rocks. I found it very hard to find a program for athletes who just had a baby and wanted to return to high-level activity with my first son. I made up my own program and was back to doing alpine runs quickly but took several months to feel full strength. Your program is an order of magnitude better and is doable at a playground or juggling a baby and 3 year old.”
