Ep. 17.0 - The Strength Runner: The Missing Link Between Strength and Performance with Jason Fitzgerald

In this episode of A Rehab Diary: The Series, I sit down with Jason Fitzgerald, running coach and host of the Strength Running Podcast, to explore the significant connection between strength training, mindset, recovery, and sustainable performance in distance running.

We dive into Jason’s coaching journey and his approach to building resilient runners, discussing how structured strength work, intelligent load management, and the right mental framework can reduce injury risk, support performance, and help runners stay in the sport longer. Jason shares practical strategies for balancing training and recovery, preventing injuries, and navigating setbacks, along with insights from his own experiences working with thousands of runners around the world.

This conversation is about developing strength, strategies, confidence, and mental resilience so runners can enjoy the journey, whilst maximising the outcome.

Welcome to the podcast, Jason Fitzgerald
