Strength Endurance Program
Couldn't load pickup availability
This training plan includes:
- 100-day Marathon/Strength program designed for someone who has some experience running (around 10 miles for a long run)
- 50-day ½ Marathon/Strength program is for someone that has less experience running (around 3-4 miles for a long run)
Both programs consist of a running and powerlifting progression along with Crossfit workouts in between.
Cardio kills gains… or so they say. I started Crossfit after twelve years of powerlifting. During those twelve years, I had amassed a respectable strength foundation, which included a 600lb squat, 700lb deadlift, and a nearly 500lb bench press. As my transition into Crossfit evolved, I had concerns that I would lose high-end strength potential. This never came to fruition.
I was able to maintain my powerlifting number while increasing my aerobic capacity along with gaining new gymnastic skills. This got me thinking, how far could I push my cardiovascular endurance while maintaining or even gaining strength? So I decided to train for a marathon in conjunction with training Crossfit and powerlifting. Being that I had already run nearly a half marathon, I elected to train for 100 days that would culminate with a personal record Deadlift attempt and a Marathon run. I wrote up a 100-day program designed for someone to run a full marathon while maintaining strength, as well as a 50-day program for a half marathon while maintaining strength.

"Since starting under Josh’s program I can swim longer, squat and pull more, my gymnastics have improved, not to mention my aerobic and anaerobic conditioning have gone way up! Love working hard daily!" - Josh C

"As a doctor and mother I cannot make it into the gym more than 5 days a week, sometimes less, so I rely on Josh’s fitness program to whoop my butt into shape with the time that I have to spare. Josh doesn’t forget that people with minimum time still like to Olympic lift and get their metcon on in the same hour! This program is fun, to the point, and all-inclusive of any fitness level. Very happy with the progress I have made." - Victoria
Strength Endurance Program
The app is pretty good but maybe a more interactive book download would be easier, maybe if you miss a day work out it auto carries to the next day
Coach Bridges this program is great. I truly mean it. I’m a former CrossFit Games Team Competitor. Over the years I’ve taken a break from all the pounding. Recently I caught the bug and wanted to resume training again. I also wanted to run a half marathon. I started the Strength Endurance Program in July 2024. I never ran more than seven miles prior to starting. My goal was to run 10 miles. I accomplished this feat on my birthday in late August. Most recently I completed my first half marathon to which I did so in 1hr 58 minutes. Felt like **** after, more of a gut thing, but the next day I was able to recover and get back to training. I’m almost done with the program. I’m looking forward to the 20 miles that I indeed on finishing with. Maybe I’ll feel determined and complete the full marathon. Thank you! Looking forward to the next phase of training.
In my opinion workouts are great but the program doesnt have much running and will only work if u already have the mileage to do marathon/half marathon as it doesnt expose you enough to build the capacity u need to run the half.
I really enjoy strength training, but this program, while improving my strength, felt too taxing and my endurance fell behind what I am used to. For instance, my 5K went from around 20min to barely hitting 25min... I simply had no energy to keep up the pace.
