This 1.5-Mile Run program will guide you through a 10-week structured training course, intentionally designed to improve your 1.5-mile run capacity. Improving this run distance should translate to other areas of fitness as well. This will be accomplished through 59 workouts. Each week contains 3 days of running & 3 days of strength & conditioning workouts. The running workouts can be done outside or on a treadmill. The strength & conditioning workouts provide various options depending upon if you have a barbell or if you prefer to workout with dumbbells. (One of the 3 strength & conditioning workouts each week is "optional" and/or can be used as an active recovery day.) The multiple options, along with the demo videos & daily programming explanation videos truly set you up for success.

This advanced training program offers a groundbreaking combination of run training paired with functional movements. The 1.5 mile distance was selected due to its potent ability to increase overall fitness as well as its importance in many physical screening tests for various organizations.

The 1.5 mile run is a core tenet of the physical fitness tests for:

• Firefighters & Law Enforcement
• Federal Bureau of Investigation
• U.S. Secret Service
• U.S. Air Force
• U.S. Coast Guard
• U.S. Navy (including the Navy SEALS)

Our goal with this training program is not only to prepare, test & improve your 1.5 mile run, but also your overall strength & conditioning. Each week’s training deliberately builds upon the previous week’s efforts. Not only will you be following an expertly designed run program, but you will also be training major critical lifts like the squat & deadlift, among others. You will be exposed to bodyweight movements, midline development & everything in between. The combination of running & strength training is what makes this program so uniquely effective. END GOAL: RUN 1.5 MILES

The importance of this distance is due to its inclusion in many physical fitness & screening tests. That fact alone would make it worthy of its own program, however, that is not the only reason. The 1.5 mile run is a very useful & versatile distance. It requires the athlete to have both speed & stamina. This means you will get a tremendous amount of transference to other areas of your fitness through your pursuit of improving your 1.5 mile run.
