160. Should Runners Lift Heavy Weights?


Listen Later

There’s a bit of a debate going on out there in the running community around whether or not runners should be lifting heavy weights.

Some people think no, runners should never lift heavy weights and they give a bunch of valid-sounding reasons why.

Others think that runners should always lift heavy and they have their own logical point of view on the topic.

The two sides both have some good points and today, I’m hoping to clarify my own stance on the subject.

So in this episode of the Running Lean podcast, I’ll definitively answer the question, “Should runners lift heavy weights?”
