Are you lifting to look strong or to perform strong? In this episode of The Performance Podcast, we break down the key differences between aesthetic-based strength training and performance-based strength training for runners. With so many “runner strength” workouts circulating online, it’s easy to confuse sweat and muscle burn with actual performance progress.
You’ll learn:
How body-part splits differ from full-body performance programming
Why rep ranges and rest periods matter more than you think
How to structure strength training to improve speed, durability, and running economy
Why lifting heavy won’t make you bulky — but will make you more powerful
If you’re a runner with big goals, this episode will help you align your strength training with your performance — not just aesthetics. Because it's not all created equal.
