Start the quizA couple of quick questions to help you get started.A few things you might be wondering.
Do I need to be training for a race?
No! Base Builder, Runner Strength, and Hybrid Athlete give you structure without needing a race goal. You can also choose one-off or Weekly Workouts.
Can I use ASCEND alongside my own running plan?
Yes. Runner Strength is designed to pair with your running. You can also use the one-off mobility, warm-up, and cooldown sessions alongside your plan.
Do I need a gym?
It depends on the program. Runner Strength Beginner is dumbbell-only and home-friendly. Other strength, Hybrid Athlete, and HYROX plans need gym equipment. Check the program overview before starting.

Can I ask you questions while I’m following a plan?
Definitely. You can message me directly inside the app or post in the community. Whether you’re unsure about an exercise or need help choosing where to start, feel free to ask.
