What Our Athletes Are Saying

"Thank you for the lifting program. I placed second in my age group at the Columbus Marathon and again at the Illinois Marathon, only this time I came in first! I was 15 minutes faster and this is also a BQ which was a goal of mine. The lifting program was truly the icing on the cake. I was able to complete twenty weeks of training with zero injuries. Before your training, I seemed to be constantly injured. Now I am able to run 5 days a week without any problem."

David

"I PR’d by almost 40 seconds in the 5k 3 months after starting the program. My 10K and marathon PRs have improved this year as well. The program is also helping me run healthier for more miles as it has strengthened my weak spots. I certainly recommend it to someone looking to reach a new place with their goals."

James

"I went through my 2nd half marathon training of the year with your program. I felt stronger and stronger as I went through it. My runs got faster and I felt solid. I actually had way more 'kick' during my runs even half way through. It’s made me really excited to do it again to see how much more I’ll improve because you can do it over and over again!"

Kirsten

"I finished my second marathon today and I BQ'd!! I followed your plan and I couldn’t be happier with a 17 minute PR for me! I also won my age group and trusted my training along the way. In my tune-up 10-mile race, I had a PR of 6 minutes! Thanks again, Jason! Looking forward to working with you again!”

Oksana

"I tell every runner I know about Strength Running because it honestly just works. I feel so great that I can once again call myself a 'runner' when at one point I had almost given up all hope. This is the best investment a runner can make. I believe that whole-heartedly! Jason helped me PR two marathons, one half-marathon, a 30k, and a 50k this year."
