What you will learn
The first step in dialing in your running technique is learning what an efficient running motion looks like and why it matters. This lesson covers what matters most, the common faults, and how to correct them.
The number one issue with running is lower body technique and foot strike position. In this lesson, we discuss how your lower body mechanics can enhance or hurt your efficiency/injury risk and specific strategies for dialing in your technique.
Upper body position and motion is also critical for an efficient and pain-free stride. In this lesson, we cover the common faults and cues to dial in your upper body posture and movement for relaxed and fast running.
How you warm up, what you focus on during running, and the drills you utilize to dial in your contact time and cadence are the keys to taking your running technique and speed to the next level. This lesson covers all of these topics and provides in-depth tutorials for all movements.
In this lesson, we discuss the most common programming and running workout mistakes and how to deal with common injuries such as anterior knee pain, IT band syndrome, and plantar fasciitis.
How you progress running over time - in terms of overall volume and specific types of running workouts and pacing zones is discussed in depth, including a six-month progression.

What people say about us
For nearly a decade, Craig and Jon have shaped the way I have trained both current and future Operators; this is an essential guide, not just for active and aspiring special operators and the people who train them, but for anyone looking for a detailed, systematic approach to building unbreakable athletes.

My mentality with SOF training before BTE was that the more I could do, the better. This led to me getting injured over and over. With BTE, I’ve been able to take a step back and build my foundation from the ground up again. Each training session has a specific purpose, not just “going hard” aimlessly. The mental skills lessons are extremely valuable, too, putting a perspective on life and training that I never would have thought of myself. But now that I’ve heard learned these lessons, they’re ingrained and are easy to integrate.
For the first time, I feel like I’m chasing this goal like a professional.

I just got selected in the May SFAS class. Thank you for the great programming; the workouts definitely translated well to the work we had to do.

I’ve noticed two really important improvements since starting this program.
1. My body feels amazing. Instead of chasing gym PRs and injuries, my energy is up and my body awareness, control, and durability have been really noticeable.
2. I’ve been able to test myself operationally with multiple deployments (ERT). 10+km High risk dog tracks, sniper infills, etc and my body has held up way better than expected due to the durability and conditioning work. A noticeable difference. Not to mention the mindset work BTE provides which goes along with the physical training.
Cannot recommend enough.
