Free vs. Premium Strength
80/20 Endurance offers two types of strength training plans to complement your endurance training: Free and Premium. Both options are designed to seamlessly integrate with 80/20 Endurance plans or any endurance training plan of similar duration. Simply align the start date of your strength plan with that of your primary training plan to ensure a cohesive schedule.
For guidance on your Premium plan, refer to our Understanding Your Premium 80/20 Strength Training Plan resource. For assistance with your Free plug-in, see Understanding Your Free Strength Training Plug-in resource.
