About this listen
In this episode, Alison discusses the benefits of strength training for runners, including improved running economy, injury resilience, and long-term bone and connective tissue health. She outlines six common mistakes runners make with strength training, such as prioritizing volume over intensity, doing too much too soon, chasing soreness and sweat, lacking consistency, constantly changing exercises, and missing opportunities to incorporate run-supportive skills. Alison emphasizes a strategic, progressive approach tailored to the female body and running demands. She also introduces her Women's Running Academy program, designed to help female runners build strength in a way that supports their goals year-round without interfering with their training.
