Why MAX-Yield Running?

As a full-time pharmacist working 12-hour shifts, I realized that standard training plans don’t follow human physiology or real-world schedules. Holding Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) and B.S. (Biology) degrees from the University of Pittsburgh, I combined my science education with over three decades of competitive distance running experience to build this system. 

Most traditional training plans force you into a rigid weekly calendar, compressing high-intensity speedwork and long runs within a strict 7-day timeline. It’s time to break the cycle and embrace an adaptable training system built for busy, performance-driven runners.

MAX-Yield Running extends the timeline.

By introducing an alternating 2-week Yield Cycle, this system establishes fixed Yield Days for high-impact workouts while prioritizing crucial recovery windows and avoiding consecutive running days.

Whether you are:

• Preparing for your first half marathon with MAX-Foundation

• Developing speed for a half PR with MAX-Half

• Building endurance for a marathon with MAX-Endurance

...this adaptable system ensures you arrive at the starting line fully recovered, mentally sharp and physically primed to hit your goals.
