Endurance Athlete Performance & Longevity Program

Helping Runners and Cyclists Stay Strong, Injury-Free, and Perform Better

At Health Shift, we help endurance athletes go beyond just logging miles. Whether you’re a runner chasing your next PR or a cyclist training for long rides, we’ll help you stay injury-free, build real strength, and extend your athletic longevity — without sacrificing performance.

For Runners: Stop Managing Pain — Start Building Strength

Most runners keep running through pain. But the truth is, the only way to run longer and with fewer injuries isn’t more running — it’s lifting heavy weights.

We don’t mean high-intensity circuits or endless repetitions. We mean classic strength training — deadlifts, squats, and compound lifts performed at 80%+ of your max weight for low reps.
This kind of training develops your base level of strength, which every athlete needs. Without it, your body breaks down faster and becomes more prone to chronic overuse injuries.

Building this foundation:

• Improves running economy and efficiency

• Reduces risk of knee, hip, and Achilles injuries

• Increases resilience during long-distance training

• Extends your performance longevity

When you work with us, we’ll tailor your strength training to your injury history, mobility, and goals — helping you build strength that directly supports your running.

For Cyclists: Strength for Balance, Stability, and Power

Cyclists spend hours in fixed positions, which often leads to muscle imbalances, joint stiffness, and overuse injuries.
Our strength training program restores that balance — making you stronger, more stable, and less likely to get injured.

Through targeted lower-body and core strength work, you’ll:

• Build balanced strength to protect joints and tendons

• Improve pedal efficiency and power output

• Reduce hip, knee, and low back pain from long rides

• Support posture and endurance for longer sessions

Cycling demands strength — not just endurance. Our program ensures your body is equipped for both.

The Oxygen Advantage: Breathe for Performance

Health Shift is a Certified Oxygen Advantage Coach.
We teach you advanced breathing techniques that improve endurance, oxygen efficiency, and recovery — without adding extra miles to your training.

Learning to breathe correctly helps you:

• Improve CO₂ tolerance and oxygen delivery

• Boost endurance and focus under fatigue

• Recover faster between efforts

• Enhance sleep and overall resilience

This is one of the most overlooked ways to elevate performance naturally.

Maintenance: The Missing Piece of Every Training Plan

Your muscles, joints, and connective tissue need ongoing care to perform at their best.
That’s why we integrate clinical massage therapy and chiropractic adjustments into your recovery program — keeping your movement patterns healthy and preventing small issues from becoming major setbacks.

With regular maintenance, you’ll:

• Restore joint mobility and soft tissue health

• Recover faster from high-volume training

• Reduce chronic tension and stiffness

• Extend your career as an athlete

Train Smarter. Recover Better. Perform Longer.
