How to Combine Running & Strength Traini...

Britany Williams
About this episode

Can you run AND lift without losing muscle or burning out? Absolutely— but only if you do it right! In this episode, Britany break downs the biggest mistakes people make when trying to combine running and strength training, and how to structure your workouts for muscle gain, endurance, and speed—without overtraining.

Britany chats about...

- The #1 mistake that kills strength gains for runners

- Why sprints > long runs for muscle-building

- The best weekly schedule for runners who lift (and lifters who run)

- The benefits of polarized training for hybrid athletes

- Why recovery is the secret sauce to results

Whether you're a runner wanting more strength or a lifter looking to improve endurance, this episode has everything you need to build a hybrid workout routine that actually works.
