KATHLETICS TRAIL
Be adventure-ready year-round with my self-guided hybrid training program.
Lift - hike - run
I believe
feeling strong, efficient, and confident in your trail abilities can level up your outdoor adventures.
You enjoy playin'
in the mountains.
There's no doubt about that.
But you want to build strength, endurance, and stability to be stronger and more efficient on the trails.
Dis you?
Having to take frequent pauses to catch your breath on the trail?
Feeling like you’re flailing down the mountain on the descent? We've all been there.
Feeling your hike or run in unwanted or surprising places days after you were on the trails?
Wanting to dabble in exploring on dirt after primarily being a road runner?
Fulfilling the role of the “friend who always rolls their ankle” on the trail? Time to pass the baton!
Worrying about whether or not you’ll be able to carry your dog off the mountain in case of an emergency?
It me.
If you're not sure, maybe this will confirm it:

Absolutely! It's a great idea to follow a resistance training program alongside your outdoor adventures to gain and maintain strength and stability on the trails. All exercise descriptions offer various modifications and modalities if you need to make any adjustments along the way.
Can I switch to a different program?
You bet! You will need to cancel your current membership and purchase your new membership.
