TAPER: Run + Move + Lift
The perfect mix of strength & conditioning - built for real life and always scalable for every level.
Program Description
"Time On Feet" meets "Time Under Tension." Runners love to put in the miles; TAPER Strength & Mobility helps protect them.
TAPER is designed to keep you on your feet whether you're training for your first ever 5K, seventeenth 100K, or any of the Ks in between. It fills the training gaps that simply "running more" can't close that every runner needs for the next mile:
Hip and ankle stability that keeps your next step true no matter what's beneath you,
Single-leg strength to make the long run longer and the recovery period shorter,
Posterior chain power driving you up that hill, past your PR, and fresh at the finish,
Core control for an efficient stride that makes every mile feel easier,
and Range of motion that stops that nagging "back/knee/hamstring thing" before it can start.
TAPER is programmed by a former anti-runner, anti-lifter that turned a mid-life crisis into a passion for running which led to a devotion to strength training after wandering into Tower Fitness to prepare for The Rut 50K. The workouts are unintimidating and approachable no matter your ability level and held in a small-group setting so you get cues from the coach, not lost in the headcount.
