The Truth About Strength Training for Women Runners with @sweatwithalex

from Legacy Running · host Dr. Sarah | Doctor of Physical Therapy

In this episode of the Legacy Running Podcast, I chat with personal trainer Alex about why strength training matters so much for women runners. We dive into breaking the “getting bulky” myth, why simpler programming beats flashy combo moves, and how to fit lifting into a busy lifestyle without the all-or-nothing mindset. Alex also shares how just two days of strength per week helped one of her marathon clients run faster and feel stronger—proof that strength and running can (and should) go hand in hand.Connect with Alexwork with alex: https://form.typeform.com/to/O1zYbfEN?typeform-source=linktr.eeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/sweatwithalexx/Get More From Dr. Sarah aka "The Hip Doc"14 Days FREE Trial: ⁠Empowered Runners Club ⁠Free Hip Mobility Guide Free Strength Plan for Runners Free “6 Ways to Ease Hip Pain Guide”Connect with me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or my webisteInterested in working with me?
