Episode description
As distance runners, we don't always have a sense of comfort with the weight room. However, the weight room can be the difference between a successful season and one that ends in injury and/or disappointment. Today we explore the concept of Strength Training for Runners:
- What lifts are best for endurance athletes
- What rep ranges you should be doing
- How to periodize your lifting to complement your racing
- Specific plans for what to do from this day forward to maximize your 2020 race season
- How to do all this while trapped in your house (if need be)
