This is the ideal episode for any active woman looking to kickstart a strength-training routine. Along with hosts Sarah Bowen Shea and Britany Williams (a fitness professional!), four women runners share how they strength train in home set-ups, telling: 
-their progressions from light weights to heavy ones; 
-how they determine their strength-training routines; 
-how one couldn’t wait to swap marathon training for lifting; 
-what motivates them (including sword-play prep!); and, 
-about finding equipment bargains (including dumpster diving!). 

Before the first guest joins at 9:07, trainer Britany gives a quick strength-training primer.
