Running Heavy

Learn how to run overweight or with a weight vest safely

Running Heavy provides motivation, inspiration, and knowledge to transform your running and overall fitness. I wrote this eBook and developed the two included 8-week training programs with intense passion, to help people overcome the same challenges I’ve faced—starting as an overweight runner and going on to complete ultramarathons and extreme endurance events over the past two and a half decades. This guide includes running while overweight and using resistance gear such as weight vests, sleds, and tires.

Running Heavy offers a comprehensive 360-degree approach for two groups of runners:

• Extra Bodyweight: runners who are overweight, heavy, big-boned, carrying more body fat than they want, need to pass a running test while heavy, or are worried about their knees. If you feel heavy when you run, this guide is for you.
  
• Extra Weight Carried, Pulled, or Pushed: athletes who want to build speed, power, durability, and endurance by running with resistance gear—such as weight vests, prowlers, sleds, tires, buddies, and other loads. If your job, sport, or training passion involves moving heavy loads quickly with your body, you’re covered here.
  

Whether you’re running overweight or loading up with a weight vest, PPE, or a sled, the fundamentals stay the same.

Safety. Injury prevention. Strength and flexibility. Progressions. Mindset tactics. It’s the same foundation—no matter what you’re carrying.

You might move between these groups over time. Either way, you’ll follow a holistic system that covers every angle: equipment, progression, mental game, body mechanics, and a complete training plan.

This program will change the way you think about running heavy.

You’ll get two 8-week training programs, a workout library for weight vests, sleds, and other loads, and a powerful set of mental training tools.
