About this episode
In this episode, I start with an intro that includes: - A quick recap of NCAA Champs in Austin, TX. - A recap of the 10K Road Champs for US women... shout-out to Sara Hall for the win! - Some final respects to Gabe Grunewald whose husband Justin recently announced she was in her final days after a long journey with cancer. Then, I turn to an interview with Jason Fitzgerald from the Strength Running podcast to talk about strength training for runners. Our discussion includes answers to these questions (and more): - What are the different types of strength training for runners? - How runners should start and then build within their strength work, including periodization for races? - Why power-related lifting is so critical for runners to build speed and late-race staying power? - How often and when to lift? - What moves are most important? - How to incorporate a dynamic warm-up into your training? Here are links to Jason's work and sample routines as well as the podcast of me on his show: https://strengthrunning.com/ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-98-chris-mcclung-rogue-running-on-training/id1170932252?i=1000440765750
