Louie Simmons' 184-page guide to strength and power training for running coaches at any distance. Subtitled "Raising Strength to Reduce Injuries."
Most running coaches train technique. Few train strength and power the way Louie's research suggests they should. This book is the answer to that gap, drawn from 35 years of figuring out what actually builds durable, fast runners.
It applies to sprinters, distance runners, and everyone in between. It is written for coaches who are willing to expand their toolkit beyond running mileage and traditional weightroom programs.
What's covered
- Why most running training programs lead to chronic injury
- Three-week speed strength wave periodization for runners
- Volume and intensity zones for the runner's strength work
- Four direct periods of periodization across the training year
- Speed pulls, sumo deadlifts, and box squats applied to running
- Programming examples scaling from a 350 to a 700 pound deadlift
- Front squat, power snatch, and special exercises for runners
- Conjugate methods for runners: max effort, dynamic effort, repeated effort
- How to change volume at the same intensity zone for periodized progress
- Delayed transformation for peaking on race day
From Louie
"This book is intended for coaches to develop strength and power the correct way. It may appear like many books by Westside, but it is completely designed for running any distance. A running coach should train not only technique but also strength and power. Furthermore, learn how to train optimally and prevent most injuries."
