Half Marathon Program

Week 5 | Half Day 31

Single Arm & Leg Strength Training

Time: ~45 minutes.

Yes single leg burpees, shoulder touch pushups, and broad jumps are a thing. You’ll not only get to know them real well this next month but you’ll see quickly just how well they translate to faster, stronger, more injury free running.  If anything feels too advanced, remember you can always brush up on your strength with the movements we did in Building Distance 1.
