## What Is Lagree?

Lagree is high-intensity, low-impact strength training on a Megaformer. Slow, controlled movements target muscles runners often neglect.

## Why Runners Need Lagree

Running is repetitive. Lagree strengthens muscles that stabilize your stride and prevent injury:

- **Glutes & hamstrings** — Power your stride
- **Hip stabilizers** — Prevent knee pain
- **Core** — Improves posture and form
- **Quads** — Protects knees on downhills

## How to Add Lagree to Running

**2x per week** on easy or rest days. Don't do Lagree before hard runs or races—your legs will be sore.

Sample week:
- Monday: Easy run
- Tuesday: Lagree
- Wednesday: Tempo run
- Thursday: Rest
- Friday: Lagree
- Saturday: Long run
- Sunday: Rest

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Will Lagree make me slower?**  
No. Strength training improves running economy. You'll run faster with better form.

**Can I do Lagree and run on the same day?**  
Yes, but run first. Lagree fatigues muscles—running after is hard.

**How long until I see running improvements?**  
4-6 weeks of consistent Lagree (2x/week). You'll notice better form and less fatigue on long runs.
