Strength training isn’t a “nice to have”; it’s the game-changer for Comrades.

In this episode, Lindsey & Shona break down:

- The real reason runners get injured 
- Why more running isn’t always better for Comrades performance
- The minimum effective dose strength plan that actually works
- What exercises matter most (glutes, hamstrings, quads + stability)
- CrossFit / Hyrox: when it helps… and when it can wreck your training
- Exactly how often you should do strength work now vs peak Comrades training

If you want to run stronger, pain-free, and more resilient all the way to the finish, this is the episode you can’t skip.
