We found, in our own training, that we ran our best when we committed to training our speed and strength equally. A focus on strength made us durable, strong, and prepared for the adversity that racing brings—we were reliable like a hammer. A focus on speed made us confident, efficient, and ready to move when the right moment arrived—we were sharp like an axe. We wanted to bring this feeling of speed and strength to as many runners as possible.Our mission is to empower and guide runners to their loftiest goals through effective training and meaningful relationships.⚒️ Meet Our Coaches: https://www.hammer-and-axe.com/find-a-coach⚒️ Grab A Training Plan: https://app.rundna.com/hammer-and-axe/program-categories⚒️ Follow For Free Daily Training Content: https://www.instagram.com/hammerandaxetraining/🎧 Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@hammerandaxetraining
