Geno Milnes - Stronger with Age: Why Runners Need Strength Training

In this episode, we’re joined by strength and conditioning coach Geno Milnes to tackle one of the biggest questions older runners face: how do you keep running strong as the years go by? Geno shares the science and practical know-how behind strength training for masters athletes — why it matters, how to start, and what difference it can make for both performance and longevity in the sport.We dig into the effects of age-related muscle loss, the role of balance and stability, and the most effective exercises for distance runners. Geno also busts common myths — like the fear of getting “too bulky” — and explains how strength work can reduce injury risk, improve running economy, and even restore stride power that many runners think they’ve lost for good.Whether you’re brand new to strength work or looking to refine your routine, Geno’s clear, science-based advice will show you how just two sessions a week can transform the way you run — helping you stay injury-resistant, resilient, and fast at any age.If you would like to find out more or get in contact with Geno then you can find him here: https://coachgeno.nz/Get in contact and follow us - Send in your questions, show suggestions and comments (good or bad) to:Facebook https://www.facebook.com/share/17EN4yrAqp/?mibextid=wwXIfrInstagram https://www.instagram.com/motmpod?igsh=MW8yamF4cHBkZWpxZg%3D%3D&utm_source=qremail [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
