Remove the guesswork from your strength training
Join the Weekly Workouts Group!
What is it?
It’s a group workout calendar within the Vector Strength Training app designed specifically for runners. Each week, you’ll get 2 full-body workouts and 1 additional core workout. The plan builds upon itself so you can keep improving and getting stronger!
Now available & included with Weekly Workouts: 6 weeks Off Season Program & a 16-week Boston strength program (start it on Jan 1)
How do I plan around my upcoming race?
Weekly Workouts subscribers get access to 5K/10K and HM/M peak, taper, and recover plans. You just hop out of the group calendar and into that race plan and then resume the group plan after your recovery period.
What equipment do I need?
You can use this plan if you have dumbbells and a set of circle resistance bands. Some of the exercises will use a barbell or kettlebell, but if the exercise uses equipment like that, an alternative option will be provided.
How do I plan around my running schedule?
The workouts are generally structured like this: M - Core, T - Full body, Th - Full body. That said, you can move your days around how it best makes sense for your running schedule. You just don’t want to do a full body workout the day before a hard workout or long run, ideally. But if you have running workouts on Tuesday and Thursday and a Saturday long run, the default schedule works great. Do your run first and then your strength second.
“The main benefit of engaging in a regular strength training routine will be an enhanced ability to generate force against the ground.”
