The Concurrent approach
Strength makes you a better runner. If it's planned properly.
Running and lifting work well together, until they're planned separately. A hard squat session before a tempo run can ruin both. Concurrent plans them together.
The problem
Two apps, two plans. Neither knows what the other asked of your legs yesterday.
The principle
Concurrent training means managing total load, not just the sessions inside one sport.
The result
Endurance and strength improve together, with fewer wasted sessions and less overreaching.
One structured programme
Your whole week, built as one.
Tell Concurrent your experience, current running volume, strength frequency, available days, session length, equipment and goals. It builds a hybrid week to match, including AM/PM double sessions if you want them.
- Primary and secondary goals: hybrid, running, strength, muscle, endurance or a race
- Hybrid days and double-session preferences
- Key sessions marked by priority so the important work is protected
