Have you wondered what muscles are best to strengthen for running? Do you want to learn the specific exercises that can help you run faster without getting injured?

This week we discuss why you should strength train as a runner! Tune in to learn why runners training for a 5k, half marathon, or marathon should add in strength training. In this video, I break down... Why should we be strength training as runners? How do we progress our strength training? When should we back off our strength training?
