Multisport: Strength Training for Runners & Triathletes

Karen Ward and Owen Anderson will be hosting a strength-training-for-running conference in Atlanta on Oct 24-25.

What will you learn?

• You will learn why strength training is so beneficial for runners and triathletes.

• You will find out that conventional methods of resistance training can not enhance your running economy, optimize your running performances, add height to your max running speed, or maximally decrease your risk of running-related injury.

• You will learn exactly how to carry out the three key forms of strength workouts for runners & triathletes— general strengthening, running-specific strengthening, and explosive work.

• You will develop an understanding of the progressions in strength training which are necessary to optimize your running-specific strength and power.

• You will find out how to blend your strengthening sessions with running workouts (and cycling and swimming sessions for triathletes) and how to periodize strengthening and running over the course of a year.

• You will come to an understanding of the strengthening drills which are absolutely necessary to boost your maximal speed, the routines which are essential for economy, and the exercises which bolster your coordination so that you can become a “hyper-efficient, explosive machine” when you run.

• Your will understand the importance of proper body alignment for both the exercises and actual running, and you will gain the knowledge to carry out each exercise absolutely correctly.

• And one last thing—you will have tremendous fun interacting with Karen and Owen!
