CARA's Peak Performance Program with
Coach Bill Leach
Overview
This "core strength" training and running program is for all levels of
participants. It features a series of unique exercises designed to strengthen your body's
"core" -
that is, the muscles of the hips, abdomen, back, and middle and upper torso. A stronger
"core" will help you:
- increase your overall conditioning and running
performance
- enhance your flexibility
- reduce your risk of injury
|
Workouts last approximately 1-1/2 hours. In addition to running,
you will go through a varied circuit of drills using training tools such as resistance bands,
balance boards, exercise balls, as well as techniques that simply leverage your own body
weight. These exercises will improve your strength, balance, coordination, flexibility
-
and, ultimately, your running performance.
How are the workouts structured? What are advantages of the program? What makes it unique?
Why is it such a great value? Get answers to these questions and more on the
Peak Performance FAQ page .
Regardless of your running and fitness level, you will see results and have fun with this
program. It's for all levels. You get unique workouts plus guidance from a professional coach
and trainers at a great value.
