Early Season Focus: Strength Training Programming

In the early season phase, athletes focus on heavy compound movements like squats, deadlifts, and lunges for five sets of five reps with 90-second rests. The emphasis is on building strength and power in the off-season to prepare for the race season. Athletes train two to three days a week with full-body workouts, prioritizing strength before running sessions to maximize performance gains.
