About this episode
Finally! Bodyweight strength training that focuses on power (with no gym or experience required)! Jason Fitzgerald from Strength Running here on the show to talk about his new offering Bodyweight Power. As Jason loves to say: Stronger Runners are Faster Runners. Strength train explosively and you’ll soon be able to run explosively. Other than delaying fatigue or preventing injuries, the other big benefit to strength training is that you’ll be able to sprint faster at the end of a race. Several powerful factors make strength workouts a great tool for speed: You’ll recruit more muscle fibers, increasing your capacity for speed Higher muscle tension means your legs will return more energy - making you run faster with the same level of effort Better economy and coordination gives you a smoother, more powerful stride If you’ve ever struggled to finish strong at the end of a race – to find that “higher gear” to power through the finish – then the strength workouts in this program will give you the power to smash through your next finish line. There’s no doubt that finding the time for a high-quality strength session (on top of your normal running schedule) can be difficult. But the real issue isn’t whether you have time, it’s whether you’re ready to improve. Do you love running? Do you want to take your racing to the next level? Passionate runners like you are often willing to make a small sacrifice to transform their running. You don’t need hours every week. You’re not a bodybuilder. And you don’t need to hit the gym 4-5 times every week. Who has time for that? All that’s needed to dramatically improve your strength, athleticism, injury resilience, power, and speed are two 30-60 minute sessions per week (that you can do at home). That’s it.
