Runners, This is How To Time Your Strength Work for Best Results

Nearly as important as strength training itself, the timing of when you lift is very important, especially if you have big running goals.

Time it wrong and strength training can actually hinder your running progress.

But get it right and your strength program will be the perfect compliment to what you are already doing in your running shoes.

Today I’ll reveal when to schedule strength training so that it's most beneficial for you and your running.  

You’ll learn:

why alternating running and strength training days is a bad idea

how to schedule strength if you run in the evenings, and

how to make it all work when you have limited time

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Thoroughly Enjoyed This Last Podcast

All of the background music keeps me on a nice easy pace while listening when running.  Great reminders that scientifically proven im not slow!  I run slow to build my aerobic engine so I’m capable of running fast when I want to.  Highly recommended!  Also, as a member of the PR Team, you can’t get a better run coach who is passionate about a plant based lifestyle.  Check it out if that’s your thing!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Perfect timing 😊

I am a listener from Asia and I stumbled upon your podcast a year ago. I have been running for a few years now but just recently shifted to a plant based diet. I am so happy I found this podcast. It really helped me a lot and up to now, I’m still learning every episode. It has been tough having this lifestyle, especially where I am from where the resources are very meager. Thank you so much and I always look forward to weekly episodes. Keep it up, I hope you know how much help and inspiration you are able to give 💯
