If your 2025 goals are to build the strength and confidence you need for running, Katie Martin’s brand-new 6-week Sweat Challenge program, The Run Up, is your perfect partner to build strength and get run-ready before you lace up your sneakers.
As far as Katie is concerned, strength training and hitting your running goals are a match made in heaven.
“Starting with strength training builds a strong foundation, preparing your body for the demands of running,” explains Katie. “It helps mitigate muscular imbalances, improve joint stability, and develop good movement patterns, which can prevent injuries and ensure a smoother transition into running. This proactive approach minimises setbacks and maximises performance as you increase your running volume.”
The Run Up is all about preparing your body to move with power, reduce your risk of injury while promoting a more effective recovery. Whether you’re new to running or it’s always been a part of your workout mix, this Sweat Challenge program targets key muscle groups to unlock your running potential.
Katie has designed The Run Up to be completed at home in 30-40 minutes, so what are you waiting for? Try this workout before the Sweat Challenge begins on 13 January for a sneak peek and start building a stronger running foundation today.
