Endurance athletes spend countless hours building their engine, but many overlook one of the biggest performance boosters available: strength training.

In this episode, we talk about why lifting weights isn't just for powerlifters or bodybuilders. We cover how strength training can improve running and cycling economy, increase power output, reduce the risk of injury, and help you stay stronger through long races and tough training blocks. We also break down common myths, how often endurance athletes should lift, and how to add strength training without sacrificing endurance performance.

Whether you're training for your first 5K, a marathon, a triathlon, or just want to perform better outdoors, this episode will show you why getting stronger can help you go farther.
