Apache Running Challenge

ALL proceeds from this program go to children’s programs on Apache reservations in the Southwestern United States. The Apache Running Challenge is a 6-week program built from the real training methods of the Apache: one of history’s greatest endurance and guerrilla warriors.

I used many of these same practices during my own 802-mile ultramarathon, where I followed Native American historical sites and tested them across real distance. What’s Inside • Duration: 6 weeks (5 training days per week) • Session Length: 45–75 minutes • Coaching Videos: 60 total instructional videos • Difficulty Level: Medium to High — scalable for all levels with Beginner, Standard, and Advanced options • Equipment Needed: Sandbag or stone, kettlebell or dumbbell, resistance bands, pull-up bar and a pack or backpack. Why This Works Each week blends authentic Apache methods of endurance and
