Summary
Do you get excited about the idea of running? Does it seem like an accessible activity that anyone can do, including you? Or do you dislike it and associate it with pain and injury?
Different people have different impressions of running, but running can have more benefits than you think, especially if you’re also building and maintaining muscle. In today’s episode, Rachael and Kelsea discuss TTSL’s new run cycle, and they’ll also explain some of the things that you may not know about the relationship between running and the muscle-building that you’ve already been working on. Other topics include how strength training changes your body and yourself as a runner, and who the new running cycle is for and what benefits you’ll see from it.
Topics Discussed in Today’s Episode:
- Finding cardio movement that you love and that works for you
- TTSL’s run cycle
- How often running needs to be done to make progress
- Pain related to running
- Why you need to strength train when you run
- Moderately intense cardio
- How to think about high-intensity training
- How slow-rate cardio steals from your muscles
- What happens when you’re lacking in the muscle department
- The injury rate of running
- Who the running cycle is for
- Why your running days aren’t behind you yet
