THE LAB
SPEED. STRENGTH. THE LITTLE THINGS THAT MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE.
High School Only | Wednesday Evenings | Flexible Registration
Great runners don't just run. They develop the speed, strength, coordination, and athleticism that help them perform at their best.
The Lab is a weekly performance training session designed specifically for high school distance runners who want to become stronger, faster, and more resilient while continuing to compete for their school teams.
Most high school programs have limited time to focus on the extras that can make a significant difference over the course of a season.
That's where The Lab comes in.
BUILD A MORE COMPLETE ATHLETE.
The Lab focuses on the often-overlooked areas of distance running development, including:
Sprint Mechanics & Wickets: Developing efficient movement patterns, coordination, and running technique.
Speed Development: Improving acceleration, turnover, and top-end speed.
Plyometrics: Building explosive power, elasticity, and reactive strength.
Functional Strength: Developing the stability, power, and strength needed for distance running.
Injury Risk Reduction: Addressing movement quality, strength, and physical preparation to support healthier training.
Mobility & Recovery: Improving range of motion and developing habits that support consistent training.
DESIGNED TO COMPLEMENT YOUR SCHOOL TRAINING.
The Lab isn't another hard running workout.
It's an opportunity to develop the athletic qualities that often get overlooked during a busy cross country or track season.
Our sessions are designed to support—not replace—your school team's training, helping athletes become more complete runners without unnecessarily adding to their weekly training load.
TRAIN WITH RUNNERS WHO SHARE YOUR PASSION.
One of the best parts of The Lab is the community.
Each week, dedicated high school runners from different schools across the Triangle come together to challenge themselves, learn new skills, encourage one another, and have fun.
Different schools. Different jerseys. One shared passion for running.
