Become the runner you've always wanted to be without sacrificing your strength. If you've ever felt like running just "isn't for you," you're not alone. I used to hate running. It didn't come naturally to me, and I definitely wasn't someone who could just go out and enjoy a run. After my first HYROX, I realized I needed to be much more intentional with my running programming, just like I am with my lifting. I couldn't expect to get better by simply running harder or farther every time. I needed a plan. That's why I created RISE Run. RISE Run is a 6-week progressive running program designed to help you build endurance, improve your pacing, develop speed, and become more confident with running, without sacrificing the strength and muscle you've worked hard to build. This isn't about chasing a specific pace or logging endless miles. It's about learning how to run, understanding your effort, and knowing why each workout is part of your plan. Inside You'll Get: - 6 weeks of progressive running - 3 purposeful run days each week: Zone 2, intervals, and long runs - 1 full-body strength day designed to support your running - Beginner-friendly run/walk options - Pacing, fueling, hydration, footwear, and recovery education - Dynamic warm-ups and recovery guidance - Weekly Mile Markers to help you track your progress and reflect along the way. This Program Is For You If: - You've always wanted to become a runner but didn't know where to start. - Running has always felt intimidating, frustrating, or like something you're just "not good at." - You're a lifter who wants to improve your endurance without giving up your strength. - You want a structured plan that actually teaches you the why behind your training. -Or maybe you're simply ready to see what you're capable of. Because running is a skill. You don't have to be naturally good at it, and you don't have to love it on Day 1. You just need the right plan, some consistency, and the patience to let yourself get better.
