By strategically blending running, strength, and conditioning sessions, our Project 300 program will help you develop a well-rounded fitness foundation for long-term performance and health. Each week for 28 weeks, you'll have five days of work, one day of active recovery of choice, and one rest day. Each day, your workouts will be one of the following (except for Sunday, which will always be your rest day):
Running and Strength: steady runs with targeted strength training
Conditioning: high-intensity, full-body sessions
Strength: focused strength training
Long Run
Your running distance will begin at 3 miles and you'll work up to a max distance of 13.1 miles. This program will be released on a weekly basis.
Welcome to Week 18, and get psyched: This weekend, you'll very nearly hit a 10-mile run and you're closing in on the final handful of weeks of the program. We hope you're feeling proud of what you've accomplished so far, and confident that you can bring it home now. In less than 10 weeks, you'll be primed to conquer anything. Let's get started on the week.
If you're just joining us and want to start at Week 1, find that here to get started.

What are the benefits of adding mobility exercises to your workouts?
Each week throughout the Project 300 program, you'll have an active recovery day that's engineered to focus in on controlled transitions and/or deep stretches, refresh your body, refocus your mind, and tap into the enthusiasm that will keep you going for 28 weeks strong. In addition to this week's 20-minute walk, we recommend adding in some box breathing, plus a dose of hip, hamstring and shoulder mobility movements.
Here's why adding a mobility workout to your weekly programming is always a good idea:
Relieves muscle and joint stiffness
Increases range of motion
Improves functional movement and ability to do everyday tasks
Improves mental focus
Preserves joint health

Run:
