b. Strength and Endurance Training Schedule (20 weeks). This training schedule's primary fitness element is
running, but also strives to combine aspects of strength, endurance, and flexibility. The running portion of the
program provides the base of cardiovascular endurance necessary to augment all other physical skills. In addition to
the progressive overload running program, strength training and flexibility exercises (e.g., Daily 16), addressing
lower and upper body resistance training must be incorporated. Weight training can augment or be substituted for
the Daily 16 exercises. Each training period will include a warmup prior to exercise and a cool-down session to
follow.
