A year ago we released a DVD titled "Building a Better Runner: Building from the Ground Up." RunnersWorld.com showcased our videos while Running Times did a training article based on one of our routines. So we decided to produce a second DVD that would include routines that build on the material in our first DVD, keeping the same structure of Preventive Routines, General Strength and Warm-Ups to organize each DVD. We've simply named the two DVDs "Building a Better Runner, Volume 1" and "Building a Better Runner, Volume 2." See the previews below to get a feel for our DVD series.

2008 Olympian Christian Smith demonstrates several routines in both volumes that helped him realize his Olympic dream.

You can watch the preview videos to get a feel for our DVD series or you can go to the resources page to learn more about distance running and how this training can fit into your current training. Check out the Purchase tab for ordering details.

"This dvd is a must for any high school, college or post-collegiate program! It provides a clear and concise explanation of not only how to do these very important body strengthening and injury prevention workouts but why to use them. These workouts are an important part of the puzzle of training an athlete that is very often overlooked but very much needed."
