This training plan includes:
- A Half Marathon + Strength program designed for someone with some running experience, building toward long runs of approximately 10 miles.
- A 10-Mile + Strength program designed for someone with less running experience, gradually building their long-run capacity while developing strength and conditioning.
Both programs combine a structured running progression with powerlifting and CrossFit-style workouts throughout the week.
Cardio kills gains… or so they say.
After twelve years of powerlifting, I had built a strong foundation, including a 600lb squat, 700lb deadlift, and nearly 500lb bench press. When I transitioned into CrossFit, I wondered how increasing my endurance would affect my strength.
It didn’t.
I was able to maintain my powerlifting numbers while significantly improving my aerobic capacity and developing new gymnastic skills. That experience got me thinking: How far can you push your endurance without sacrificing strength?
That question became the foundation for this program.
The goal isn’t to turn you into a marathon runner overnight. It’s to build the running capacity, strength, durability, and aerobic base needed to handle longer distances while continuing to train hard in the gym.
The programs progress toward a 10-mile or half marathon effort, giving you a strong foundation to eventually take on a full marathon when you’re ready.
You’ll continue to lift heavy, build strength, run progressively longer distances, and incorporate CrossFit-style conditioning along the way.
Train for more without giving up what you've already built.

"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

Hi Robson, thanks for sharing your feedback. If there's anything specific you'd like to see improved or added, we'd love to hear it to help us serve you better!
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.
Really enjoyed the strength and endurance program. Went through it on a deployment and waited a few years to try again. However, I was not as in as good a shape as I had thought. So it was a great program not only to increase strength and endurance but also a litmis test for overall fitness. I look forward to tackeling it again in the near future.
São treinos mais longos em sua maioria e de intensidade moderada em sua maioria, devido à um volume mais alto de repetições. Porém puxa bem o gás e traz um resultado bem satisfatório com relação ao corpo e a melhora de performance geral. Bem satisfatório para mim e pro perfil de atividade que eu goato
Best combination of Running with Strenght
Great way to get back into fitness if anyone has fallen out of it.
Brilliant from the get go! Will look to try another one of the programmes after this one.
Get into it and don’t think twice!
Pay the man!
Just started it loving it thanks josh
Great program! Josh Bridges has put together a phenomenal program to increase strength while also increasing endurance. I used the program to compete in Hyrox events, a half marathon and a 25k mountain race. I was able to run longer distances while still lifting heavy and gaining muscle. Weak legs = Weak minds.
After 3 months more power,more strenght,more Condition.Great program.
I really like the variability of the workouts. One day you can lift heavy and other run long km’s. Keeps me motivated.
Feeling strong but still able to run 8 Miles
