Strength work that makes your runs feel easier.

4 weeks2–3 days a week25–40 min

Two or three short sessions of single-leg strength, hips, calves and a core that resists rotation. No cardio added: your runs are the cardio. Built to sit beside your running week, not compete with it.

What you need

Nothing: bodyweight works.

Where it gets you

Four weeks of the strength running doesn't build on its own.

How it works

The program sets the shape: the days, the weeks and what each session is for. Bodaptive picks every exercise and load for your equipment and level, and adjusts them after each workout, just like your own plan.
