Escape Injuries and Run a New PR: A Behind the Scenes Coaching Call","description":"One of my goals with Strength Running is to prevent you from making the same mistakes that I've made in my own running career. Because I've made almost all of them! Some of my "favorite" mistakes have been: Running my easy days too hard Not doing any dynamic warm up exercises before each run Inconsistently completing my strength exercises Relying too much on intensity and brutal workouts to "prove" my fitness Now, my coaching philosophy is more balanced. There's less pressure on any one individual workout and more on the total body of work completed during a training cycle. And today on the podcast, I want to show you what that looks like in practice. Brian is in his mid-40's and started running about five years ago. He's run a variety of races but only one marathon. A big reason why is that he's had a lot of injuries from knee pain, glute problems, and IT Band Syndrome. We're discussing: How Brian typically prepares for the marathon His background in other sports The steps he can take to prioritize healthy, pain-free running Marathon training fundamentals Show Links & Resources: Injury prevention for runners ecourse Elite runners on recovery and staying healthy Sub 3 hour marathon training How to run your fastest marathon Thanks Brian for sharing your running life with us!
