Strength training is one of the biggest pain points runners struggle with — when to do it, how to do it, and how to fit it in without feeling overwhelmed. And with endless YouTube videos, reels, and online advice… it’s no wonder most runners don’t know where to start.

In this episode, I break down the exact steps to finally make strength training work with your running. You’ll learn:

• Why you need to make time, not find time, for strength

• The key goals your strength plan should support

• How to choose exercises, sets, reps, and progressions (without overthinking it)

• Why so many runners stall out — and the simple fixes that actually work

• How to avoid trying to chase every goal at once

• What periodization really looks like for runners who want long-term progress

If you’ve ever wondered how to schedule strength, build muscle, run faster, and prevent injuries without burning out, this episode is for you.
