Foot strength training for runners

Weak feet break down your form. Train them.

Tired feet let the ankle roll and your stride collapse in the last miles. The B2R Training System pairs a Slant Wobble Board, balance poles and stability disks with the B2R video program, so you know exactly what to do. Short, specific sessions a few times a week, starting the day it arrives.

Why feet first

Strength that starts where you land

THE PROBLEM

Your form is only as strong as your feet

Every stride lands on 26 bones and dozens of small muscles. When they are weak, the ankle wobbles, the knee follows and technique falls apart late in a run. Shoes can support a foot. They cannot strengthen it.

Level 1 bundle: Slant Wobble Board, balance poles, equipment bag

THE MECHANISM

Train the foot like any other muscle

The B2R Slant Wobble Board puts your foot on an angled, unstable surface, so the arch and ankle have to work on every repetition. Balance poles keep you steady while you load it. Stability disks raise the challenge in Levels 2 and 3.

THE PROGRAM

The right exercises, in the right order

Each level's video gives in-depth instruction, an extensive exercise library and a Run Form section that makes proper technique simple to understand. Start at Level 1, master it, then progress. Short, specific sessions a few times a week.

Reviews

Stronger from the ground up

  • [B2R] aims to strengthen the entire foot, which as yogis and martial artists know, strengthens the entire body. After runs on the Mesa Trail and working with [B2R's] DVD and strengthening platform, I'm sold.

  • The results, particularly in the area of stability, were incredible. It's a great supplementary program that I'll be using for a long time.

  • The Slant Board is very solid and built in such a way that it is much more challenging to balance on than it looks.
