Episode 49 is an interview Trang Nguyen, physio and strength and conditioning coach at the Motion Mechanic. In this conversation, we discuss how to periodise your strength training, what are the best types of exercises, how many reps and sets you should do for different outcomes, and whether or not you will bulk up. I am a big proponent of strength training, and I think this podcast is full of information that will hopefully convert you all to agreeing with me!

Enjoy my chat with Trang! I think Trang has really shown how important it is to work on strength for runners. I also found it interesting how important she developing mobility alongside strength. I think this conversation was a great complement to my chat with Kelly Starrett. Check that one out too if you haven’t heard that yet. I would love to see all runners working on developing strength as this can only help reduce injuries and enable us to stay strong for life as well as for running.
