STRENGTH Specific for Runners

  • Prevent and Reduce Injury: With every foot strike, the body must respond to a force production of 6-8 times a persons body weight. This repeated force can cause injury if not properly prepared. Strength training provides your tissue (i.e. muscles, tendons , ligaments) with the needed load to build tolerance to the force production that running demands.

  • Increase Performance: Strengthening the key components of the gait cycle has been shown to increase your speed and efficiency.

    This class is free to the public but Dream Run Camp registrants have priority booking and all others are subject to cancellation to provide campers availability.

Training at Paragon

Group classes often impose standardized movements on participants, forcing everyone into the same exercises, pace, and duration. Our approach is different. We tailor each strength class to the individual, providing personalized accommodations that enable athletes of varying levels to work side-by-side based on their individual needs.
