Turkey Trot Training Program
For People Who Lift, Not Just Run
This program is for the barbells-first crew who think "cardio" is either chasing PRs or running to the fridge between sets. Whether you're eyeing a 5K or leveling up to a 10K for that Thanksgiving Turkey Trot, this 4-week, 3x per week program is your ticket to not just surviving—but dominating—your run.
What to Expect:
We’ve kept it simple but spicy. No insane mileage to start, so your legs won’t feel like Jell-O before your next squat day. We’re talking short, manageable runs and intervals that get you moving without burning out. The program slowly builds up your endurance while keeping it friendly for people who still like to throw some weight around during the week. Expect some fast-paced intervals, hill sprints that make you question your life choices, and long runs that won’t cut into your recovery from deadlifts.
Who It’s For:
You love lifting, but you’re also game for a little fitness variety. This program is perfect if you don’t consider yourself a "runner" but want to knock out a solid 5K or 10K without dying at mile one. It’s also ideal for those who still want to hit the gym hard, with just enough running to get your legs ready for race day (and maybe even PR on that Trot).
Bottom line: You’ll run, but you’ll still lift. Sound good? Let’s get after it.
