Strength Athlete's Endurance Guide
The 24-week Strength Athlete’s Endurance Guide is intended for individuals who have a primary focus in strength sports and training. This plan leaves room for a typical strength routine, but hits the essential elements of conditioning cardiovascular fitness. This may help improve work capacity, recovery in the weight room, or simply provide the preparation for an endurance event of interest without compromising future strength goals. If you have any questions about whether this plan is appropriate for your particular circumstances, please contact Zach.
About this plan:
This plan is a good fit for people who primarily focus on strength work or sports that lean heavily on strength.
This plan includes either three or four specific workouts per week.
This plan was created with running as the primary mode of completing the workouts, but other cardio equipment, such as ellipticals, stair masters, or bikes can be used if desired.
This plan is periodized. It focuses on building a strong aerobic foundation for the first half of the plan, before transitioning to a primary focus on speedwork development.
This plan includes: short intervals, long intervals, tempo runs, and foundational runs.
This plan uses time and intensity as the metric to track workout duration and difficulty.
This plan includes detailed workout descriptions with multiple guides for determining workout intensity.
This plan encourages using rate of perceived exertion (guide included) as a guide. It includes heart rate, and descriptive cues as well.
