75 - The Truth About Weight and Running

from Running Stronger: Training for Everyday Athletes · host Will Frantz

Am I too heavy? Is my weight making me unhealthy? Would losing "a couple pounds" help me run faster? I discuss weight with people on a weekly (sometimes daily) basis and am tired of the misinformation from both ends. Weight plays a factor in your running. It's probably not as much of a factor as you think. It's definitely NOT as simple as "lighter = faster." In this episode, I tried to deliver the truth about weight and running. If you've ever gotten on the scale and thought "I'd probably be faster if I weighed less," then this is for you.  Please let me know if you have any questions! ----- Links: Watch the Video Nick Bare's Sub-3hr Marathon Sally McCrae 74 - Running PUTS w/ JEREMY SMITH & JEFF FULLMER ----- Want to be able to ask your own questions for this podcast?
