NATURE
UNLOCK YOUR PRIMAL
STRENGTH
Primal Running isn’t just about speed or distance. It’s also about strength and mobility, resilience and adaptation to the elements; it’s about how you breathe, how you eat and drink, how you metabolize your energy, and how your mind engages not only with your body but also the world you live in.
It’s an ancient practice, at the root of who we are as a species.
Join us for a transformational 8-week experience, developed in collaboration with the last remaining persistence hunters of the Kalahari.
Join us to learn the tools that make you human.

Eric Haas
After many attempts to find the world’s last remaining persistence hunters, and many years of training to be able to run alongside them, it’s time for me to start sharing what I’ve learned.
All of the protocols, tips, and insights presented here are the fruit of much trial and error, an avid search not just to run faster or further, but essentially to build a life worth living. This goes far beyond exercise or fitness; what you have here is essentially a way to rediscover who you are.
This is the program we use to help people prepare for our excursions to the Kalahari, now made available for anyone who wants to start training.

FAQ
frequently asked questions
-
If you're looking for something more than another plan to get ripped or lose weight, you're in the right place.
This is about giving your body what it needs, building deeper awareness, connecting to nature and to the natural rhythms we've evolved to crave.
You will get faster and stronger -- you'll probably lose weight and get ripped too -- but really this is about tapping in to your primal nature and learning the tools that make us human.
We draw on scientific research, years of practical experience, and ancient wisdom shared by the persistence hunters of the Kalahari. -
No. A decent base of fitness never hurts, but we've designed things so that your training load will fit your current level of fitness wherever you're at.
If you do have prior running experience that's great, but be aware that you may have a fair amount of unlearning to do.
Over 8 weeks you will (re-)build foundational skills while gaining the strength, mobility, endurance, and mindbody resilience needed to continue moving injury-free for the rest of your life.
-
By the end of the program, you’ll notice improved running technique, better breath control, and increased overall strength. You’ll also experience enhanced endurance and mobility, with a stronger mind-body connection that makes running feel more natural and enjoyable.
-
We recommend setting aside 3-5 hours per week to watch the course videos, complete strength and mobility exercises, and engage in the running training. You can adapt the schedule to fit your lifestyle, and the program is designed to be flexible enough for any pace.
-
All you need is comfortable running attire and, ideally, minimalist or barefoot running shoes to improve foot mobility and strength. No heavy equipment is required, but a small set of resistance bands or light weights could help with the strength routines.
-
You’ll be part of a supportive online cohort where you can share videos of your running form and receive personalized feedback from your coach and peers. Regular check-ins and group chats ensure you’re progressing and staying accountable.
-
The course emphasizes building strength and mobility from the ground up, which can help prevent or reduce injuries. However, if you have specific concerns, we recommend consulting a healthcare professional before beginning. You can also adjust the exercises to suit your needs.
-
Our program is uniquely developed in collaboration with the last remaining persistence hunters of the Kalahari, whose techniques have been tested in harsh conditions. You’ll learn not only how to run more efficiently but also how to adapt your body to various environments, using ancient wisdom combined with modern science.
