75: Structure Matters: Building Endurance Without Killing Strength


Listen Later

Can you train endurance without losing strength, power, or muscle? In this episode we bust myths and break down the science behind concurrent training — showing how strength and endurance can coexist when programmed smartly. This is not about marathon training, or long-distance running in general, but about making running and strength exist together.

You’ll learn:

  • How the interference effect works — and what research actually says about mixing running and lifting 

  • Why training order matters for strength outcomes when resistance and endurance workouts are combined 

  • Evidence that well-designed concurrent programs can still build strength and endurance without compromise 

  • Practical strategies for scheduling runs and lifts so they support, not sabotage, each other

Whether you’re a strength athlete wanting better conditioning or an endurance athlete lifting for performance, this episode gives science-based solutions — no PhD required.

Run and Lift better on the Commit App.
