Maybe Cardio Isn't So Bad After All. . .Running Without Running Yourself Into the Ground with Liz Brinkmoeller

52 minutes

This week's episode is inspired by MANY conversations I've been having with clients lately. It seems that improving cardiovascular endurance is a common goal for a lot of us. And there are so many questions surrounding how to do that. Especially if you've previously had a complicated relationship with cardio. My friend Liz Brinkmoeller seemed like the perfect person to have this conversation.

After being a track athlete in high school, Liz went through college and had a traditional desk job for about 6 years. After finding her way back to fitness and running, she became certified in group fitness and personal training and switched careers to full time training. As a former runner with a complicated past with exercising and eating, her goal is to work through all the misinformation in the fitness and running world so all the clients she serves don't forget they live a life outside of body size and PRs.

On this episode we talk about:

How lifting weights can benefit people who run AND how running can benefit those who primarily lift.

How to balance hybrid training (AKA running and strength training) without overdoing it.

The ways diet culture shows up in the running world.

How to improve your relationship with running/cardio if you've previously used it as a compensatory behavior.

The ways that cardio (like running) can be both a really good and healthy thing, and also a disordered and unhealthy thing depending on your approach.

How to improve your capacity for running/cardiovascular fitness when you haven't done it in awhile (or ever).

So many other great things!
