Ep 54: Why Strength training and mobility are so important for women over 40, whether you’re a runner or not


Listen Later

Are you a runner who often skips strength training? Or maybe you’re an active woman over 40 wondering why your body feels different these days? This episode is for YOU.


When I came back to running in my 30s after several years of having babies and ALL the things, I only had time for runs. Strength training felt like “extra”—until the aches, injuries, and body changes started creeping in.


In today’s episode, we dive into:

Why strength training is a non-negotiable after 40

✅ The changes happening in your body with age and hormones (think muscle loss, bone density, and more)

✅ How strength training can reduce injuries, improve running, boost confidence, and keep you independent for life

✅ Why mobility work is just as important—and simple ways to fit it in

✅ How to start TODAY (even if you’re super busy or hate the gym!)


Whether you’re a runner or not, this conversation will inspire you to prioritize strength and mobility so you can keep doing what you love— for decades to come.
