There’s a lot of confusing information out there about how runners should approach strength training.

Some people say you should use very light weights and do a ton of reps so you don’t bulk up too much.

Other people suggest lifting super heavy weights and doing fewer reps but that seems a little scary and not a very good choice for long-distance runners.

So what’s the right answer for you? That’s what this episode is all about!

By the end of this episode, you will have a much clearer understanding of these different resistance training methodologies and how to do them correctly.
