Episode 107: Tina Muir Cohosts to Answer Your Strength Training Questions

Today's episode is all Q&A about strength training for endurance runners featuring a guest cohost, Ms. Tina Muir! Tina is the host of the incredibly popular Running for Real podcast, a past guest here on the Strength Running Podcast, and a former professional runner. We're discussing many aspects of strength work: Do runners need upper body exercises? How often should we get in the weight room? Is it best to do core training before or after running? Is progressive overload in the gym too aggressive? Should runners lift to failure? Can circuit workouts be used for strength training? And a lot more! The answers to these questions - in much more detail - are also found in Strength Running's email series about weightlifting for runners. It's an email a day about the benefits of strength work, common myths that many of us believe, case studies, mistakes to avoid, example exercises, and a lot more.
