Strength training twice weekly for 45-60 min each delivers maximal benefits. Running is an impact sport, it’s you vs the ground. Runners don’t have to lift more than twice a week. Lift weights AFTER you run, not before you run. Take two minutes rest in-between each exercise.   Strength training delays fatigue.   ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: Jason’s Training Programs Jason’s Full Strength Program Jason’s Free E-mail Strength Training Series Jason Fitzgerald’s ‘Strength Running Podcast’   GUEST BIOGRAPHY:  JASON FITZGERALD  Jason Fitzgerald is the creator and founder of Strength Running.
