Ready to future-proof your running? In this episode of Running Your Best Life, Victor and co-host Adele reveal why strength training has shifted from “optional cross-training” to an essential performance pillar in 2025. We break down the latest umbrella review showing 4–8 % gains in running economy with just two gym sessions a week, recap a new 10-week trial that extended late-race kick by 35 %, and unpack elite-coach insights on year-round lifting for longevity.

You’ll learn:

• Three myths that keep age-group athletes out of the weight room—and the data that destroys them

• A simple two-day strength template (max-strength + power/stability) you can plug into your schedule this week

• Mindset shifts that reframe lifting as joint insurance and PR fuel for runners over 40

• Practical scheduling tips so your lifts enhance, not hinder, quality runs

Hit play to get stronger, go longer, and keep chasing PRs well into your 60s and beyond—because running your best life means showing up powerful on every stride.
