Summary

Depending on whether you started running today or last year, today's podcast will clarify the most high-impact training available to you.

Because certain training strategies and workouts are either too easy for some runners - or too difficult.

Like Goldilocks, it's important to plan training that's "just right."

And new runners are at an interesting time in their running careers. There's so much potential and improvements will come quickly as long as runners stay healthy and focused.

So first, don't get injured!

Next, run consistently!

If you're healthy and running consistently, now you can take "the next step" and start focusing on bigger goals.

Jenny Hadfield has been helping runners accomplish their wildest goals for over two decades with a regular column in Runner's World and her promotion of adventure travel around the world.

She's a best-selling author with titles like Running for Mortals and Marathoning for Mortals and has been called "THE coach of this generation."

Even though started running later in life, she's become quite the endurance athlete with race finishes around the world:

The Boston Marathon
Mark Burnett's Eco-Challenge
The Antarctica Marathon
The Grand Canyon Rim-to-Rim Challenge

With her coaching and running experience, we teamed up to help new runners with 0 - 18 months of running experience get their training started on the right foot.

1:22.2	talking about strength training for running. I love this. Many of you know that I don't think strength training is cross training. It's so fundamental to what we do as runners that it's just
