Hey! How's it goin?
In today's episode I'm talking about changing your strength workouts through the year as you change what you're doing with your running training.

  1. Understanding the Phases of Your Running Journey
    • Detailed explanation of each phase of the running journey and its significance in training for races.
    • Illustration of how the phases are interconnected and how they affect your strength training routine.
  2. Strength Workouts During the Training Phase
    • Emphasis on the primary focus of the training phase: preparing for the upcoming race.
    • Discussion on how strength workouts should complement running training without being the main priority.
    • Recommendation to avoid introducing new or significantly heavy exercises during this phase.
  3. Adjusting Strength Training During Taper and Race Week
    • Explanation of the purpose of the taper phase and its impact on strength training.
    • Recommendation to reduce intensity and volume of strength workouts during taper and race week to conserve energy for the race.
  4. Prioritizing Recovery and Rehabilitation During Rest and Recovery Phase
    • Emphasis on the importance of rest and recovery after a race to allow the body to recover from exertion and potential injuries.
    • Recommendation to focus on low-intensity, high-repetition exercises targeting supportive muscles to aid in recovery.
  5. Building Strength During the Build Phase
    • Discussion on the significance of the build phase in preparing the body for future challenges.
    • Explanation of how this phase allows for the introduction of new exercises and heavier weights to build strength and resilience.
    • Emphasis on the role of strength workouts in injury prevention during this phase.
  6. Avoiding Common Mistakes in Strength Training Timing
    • Addressing the misconception of focusing on strength training during the wrong phase of the running journey.
    • Explanation of why timing is crucial in incorporating strength workouts to avoid exacerbating injuries.
