Goon 100 Challenge
Join Coach Brian in the Goon 100 Challenge
Alright, team—I’m jumping into the Goon 100 and I’d love for you to join me.
Yes, I’m a little late getting started, but I have zero doubt that we can knock this out. Goons Against The World is hosting a challenge on the Nike Run app: 100 miles between April 1st and May 31st. That’s it. Two months, 100 miles. A totally doable goal that fits beautifully into our current Spring Strength Cycle.
Big thanks to Gina for the inspiration—your energy got this rolling. I’ve already reached out to a few MidState CF athletes, but now I’m opening it up to everyone. Whether you're a seasoned runner or just looking to build some new momentum, this is a great way to push yourself and have fun doing it.
Why Pair Running with Strength Training?
Running and strength training go hand-in-hand—when done right, they actually enhance each other.
Stronger Muscles = Safer Running: Building strength helps reinforce the muscles and joints that absorb impact while running, lowering injury risk.
Better Endurance: Strength training improves muscle efficiency, which translates to improved running economy. You’ll go longer with less effort.
Body Composition Wins: This combo is a killer for fat loss and lean muscle retention, especially in a higher-volume training season like spring.
Mental Grit: Mixing modalities keeps the mind sharp and the motivation high—especially when you’re chasing down 100 miles with a crew behind you.
