One weird trick to hit new running PBs and prevent injuries. Just kidding, it’s strength training
If you google 'strength training for runners' you'll come up with a billion results. The problem isn't that we don't know that it's beneficial, the problem is actually getting it done. I've written about developing mental toughness, how to motivate yourself to do hard things and why you need joy, not motivation - but in this episode of the podcast, Jo and I are talking specifically about strength training.
It's easy to downplay the challenges with strength training and put it in the 'just do it' basket. But there can be loads of obstacles - gyms can be intimidating, especially if you aren't used to the environment. You can get caught up in too many options and get overwhelmed. (For some strength apps to get you started you can check out these which are a great option for strength training for runners.) Or you can just de-prioritise it because it's not something you enjoy and yep you guessed it when something is last on your list and last in your heart, it is the first thing that gets skipped.
