TRAINING PHILOSOPHY

 

Our training system is built around these core principles:

TOGETHER WE CAN DO SO MUCH.

Running is only a solo sport if you let it be. Every Rogue experience starts with a coach or guide who knows their shit and cares. The coach or guide provides the plan and then empowers the athletes to do the work. The glue of the group are the teammates who push each other to do big things. Together, we become happy, healthy, and strong.

TRAINING WITH A PURPOSE

Achieving greatness starts with knowing YOUR PURPOSE, creating a long-term plan & setting goals that matter! Goals that are just a number become irrelevant when shit gets hard if you don’t know why they’re important.

MILES MATTER, BUT THEY AREN’T EVERYTHING …

While the origins of our training programs pay homage to Arthur Lydiard’s training pyramid, they have been refined over the years to create Rogue’s Training System. We believe in periodization with a purpose. We understand the demands for each race distance and prepare the athlete emotionally, physically and mentally. You will do race specific work to simulate all elements of race conditions. You will learn how to control what you can and be prepared to handle what you can’t. While you need to run more to get faster, if you focus on running ONLY, you will neglect many things that support & strengthen the development of your running fitness.

  • Core & strengthening routine

  • Mobility and functional movement

  • Mental strength – Mind/Body Connection

RECOVERY IS KING

After being stressed from training, the body requires appropriate rest to consolidate and build fitness. Ignoring proper recovery leads to fatigue, failure and injury. Recovery must be intentional, active & wholistic and consider the athlete’s total stress workload. Sleep, nutrition, foam rolling & active recovery all must be incorporated and are as essential to the training plan as the work itself. The fittest athlete doesn’t win the race if they can’t line up for the starting line!

YOU CAN’T MICROWAVE FITNESS.

Do the work. Be consistent. No excuses - heat or cold, rain or shine. Consistency is the number one success metric when it comes to long-distance running. The more consistent you are from day to day, week to week, month to month, and year to year, then the more likely you are to reach your potential. The path to greatness is forged by doing all of the little things day in and day out when nobody is watching.
