We speak often on this podcast about strength training for runners - which is drastically different than lifting for aesthetics. We are joined by running and strength coach Montana Depasquale for a discussion on how to pick a strength training plan that will actually improve your running performance - not just change your appearance.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What to look for in a strength training plan
• Should you lift to failure?
• How to start and progress your strength training
• How do you know if you are lifting heavy enough?
• How much rest you need between sets
• Should you be sore after your lifts?
• How many times per week do you need to lift?
• What strength exercises should runners do?
• Do runners need upper body strength training?
