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.
