Adult Strength for Endurance Athletes


The Loppet Foundation :: Programs :: Adult Strength for Endurance Athletes

The Adult Strength for Endurance Athletes program will primarily focus on building a solid base for nordic skiing, running, and other endurance sports by utilizing body weight movements, barbells, free weights, and plyometrics. Participants will learn to use correct technique for movements through hands on instruction. Also, a large focus for the sessions will be mobility and movement mechanics.

This will be a beneficial course to improve your overall performance for endurance sports, whether you are new to strength or have been doing it for years.
