The Run Up 2.0 Challenge
Katie’s popular program has been given a refresh! She credits so much of her running success to her strength training routine, and The Run Up 2.0 is available as part of the 4-Week Sweat Challenge to help you build strength, power and endurance to improve your running (or get started!).

I’m Katie Martin, creator of Strength & Sculpt and Strength & Pilates. I’ve been a personal trainer since 2016, and am also a cookbook author and the founder of my own activewear line. Strength training, running and Pilates are my favourite ways to train to see results, feel strong, and build sustainable healthy habits.
