In today’s episode, physio and running coach Dr. Marie Whitt joins us to talk about how you can efficiently and effectively balance running and strength training without compromising health and succumbing to burnout or fatigue. We discuss concurrent training, perceived readiness, the optimal time between running and a lifting session, and tailoring strength training to support running performance.
