In this episode, I break down how to structure your strength training when you’ve got a race on the horizon.

One of the biggest mistakes hybrid athletes make is trying to hold peak lifting volume while running volume ramps up. That’s a fast track to feeling constantly fatigued, flat in sessions, and underperforming on race day.

I explain how and why lifting volume should gradually come down as running demands increase, what to do with lower body vs upper body work, and how to taper strength training in the final weeks without losing strength.

We also cover practical ways to keep strength ticking over, manage soreness, and still show up to race day feeling fast, fresh, and strong.
