Dear Runner,

What's the driving force behind your training this year?

To smash your PB? To get faster than your rivals? To avoid costly visits to your local physiotherapy clinic?

I'm about to reveal the elite 'secret' that'll help you achieve ALL of these goals – and it actually involves LESS running!

If you want to become a better runner, you need to do something the world's leading sprinters and runners already do... what a top coach would charge hundreds of dollars to tell you...

Add conditioning plans – targeted to the demands of running – to your training.

Pounding the pavement isn't going to help you run faster or further, nor protect you from getting injured. If you look at the running elite – all of whom are powerful, ultra-fit and sport lots of lean muscle – it's clear that getting on top form involves other forms of training.

You need to develop the elements crucial to success – such as whole-body strength, leg power, muscular endurance and aerobic fitness – through exercises that relate to what you do when you run as closely as possible.

And that's why I'm writing to you today: to give you the expert tools you need to transform your training for GUARANTEED progress.

In fact, you'll see results as soon as 60 days from now...

Plus, these training resources won't cost you a single penny.

With input from the Peak Performance team of world class coaches and training experts, I've created the Runner's Toolkit: a pack of performance-boosting workouts, injury prevention techniques and expert training tips that are suitable for runners of every level.

Whether you're a competitive sprinter, endurance runner, triathlete or involved in a running-based sport, this 12-part training pack will help:

Boost your running speed
Increase muscle strength
Improve fitness and endurance
Reduce the risk of injury
Enhance your diet and nutrition

Just say 'YES' to a no-obligation, 2-month trial of Peak Performance for just $1.97 (that's less than the cost of a sports drink!) and you can access and download your FREE Runner's Toolkit instantly.

Find it's not for you, or that my training resources don't deliver what I promise, and you can have your money back. Plus you can keep all of your FREE downloads - no strings attached.

I'll tell you more about Peak Performance in a moment, but let's look closer at how you can turbo-charge your running first...

Want your pack right now? Click here to try Peak Performance for $1.97 and access the FREE runner's toolkit.

How to accelerate your strength, speed and endurance gains – without hours of running!

This new training pack is for runners (and their coaches) who want to get stronger, faster and fitter in optimum time.

Our workouts – designed by top international level coaches – will quickly target all the right areas to lift your performance and gain that all-important advantage over your rivals. (You can bet they're probably not doing enough conditioning either!)

Spending time working out in the gym makes sense when you think about the demands that running places on your body...

If you're a sprinter, you need to propel yourself down a track at immense speed. This requires huge amounts of explosive leg power.

Performing exercises with weights that stimulate the growth of your leg muscles (without adding bulk), strengthens them and improves the rate at which they can contract will therefore impact how quickly you can push off the ground and propel yourself to the finish.

Endurance runners need to sustain pace over long distances, and find an extra push in the final moments of a race. Circuits of high-intensity exercises are therefore ideal for improving your aerobic fitness, recovery rate and late race stamina.

The bottom line is that ALL training needs to be highly-targeted and replicate what you do when you run, so that you develop your ability in those specific movements and muscles.

There isn't a single exercise or piece of advice in the Runner's Toolkit that won't have a direct and positive impact on your training and running performance.

By focusing on relevant strands of conditioning that you may have overlooked up until now, you'll 'shock' your body into improvement - FAST.

Your FREE training toolkit includes all of this:

  • 8 ready-made workouts for strength, power, fitness and endurance
  • Expert guidance on designing an effective speed training programme
  • Safe and effective advice on warming up before speed training
  • Nutrition-boosting recipes for before and after exercise
  • Time-efficient 'prehab' techniques to protect yourself from injury

Switching up your training has the double benefit of improving your performance AND making training more challenging and exciting. It's all too easy to fall into the same patterns with your training and get stuck in a rut. And that's when progress stops.

With the Runner's Toolkit to hand, you'll have the motivation and inspiration to keep your training varied and most of all – rewarding.

Just imagine the satisfaction you'll feel when you reach the finish line faster than ever before. You'll only wish that you didn't start training like this sooner!

Take an elite approach to running with FREE advice from our sports training experts

I know that finding reliable sports training advice can be tough.

The internet is crawling with self-proclaimed 'gurus' and 'experts'. Magazines that promise the earth don't always deliver results. And paying a trainer or coach to help you one-on-one comes with a huge price tag.

That's why I brought in some tops names in the sports training field to help me create the Runner's Toolkit.

And remember, you're getting their workouts, tips and techniques for FREE.

These guys have worked with elite athletes and have years of experience and knowledge behind them, making them well-placed to show you how to become a better, more successful runner.

Let me introduce you to a few of them right now:

Brendan Chaplin

"I firmly believe that if I continue to train and feed my body properly then it will serve me well for as long as it lasts. Peak Performance has helped me achieve this by providing truly educational material. Everything from running (speed and endurance), to how to gain strength, to how to prevent or treat an injury. There's no other single place on the internet (that I've found) that an athlete can find answers to practically anything." - Bryan Adair, Boiling Springs, USA

Every month, my team and I persuade top coaches, physicians, sports nutritionists, physiologists, and psychologists to share their winning secrets with you.

Plus, I spend countless hours poring over arcane technical journals most athletes and coaches don't have time to read - everything from The Journal of Applied Physiology to Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sports - to uncover cutting edge sports science research based on proven, tested results, not theory or opinion.

Then we strip away the scientific jargon and mathematics, and distil the research into pragmatic training, nutrition, exercise, and performance techniques, in plain English that's easy and fun to read and absorb.

You get a steady stream of scientifically proven sports performance breakthroughs that you can put to work immediately, to help you achieve significant gains in stamina, strength and fitness.

The reason for our leadership in the sports training field is simple:

Our commitment to 'specific training' means that training mirrors the demands of the sport as closely as possible. This applies not only to the way the body's energy systems and neuromuscular system is taxed through manipulation of intensity and rest intervals etc. but also to the movement patterns of each exercise.

Inside the Peak Performance Members' Area, as well as our newsletter, you'll find a huge number of results-orientated training programmes, each designed to improve performance for specific sports and outcomes.
