I cant stress enough how strength training is important for runners. It helps not only with improving power and endurance, but also helps preventing injuries. I do gym work twice a week since my last injury and I'm seeing a lot of improvement in my overall running. Do your squats folks!

[airwilliam]

After doing powerlifting for 7 years, I gained a lot of strength and muscle and never had injury or form issues related to running or biking. I can attest to strength training ironing out any weaknesses. I'm still really slow at running though cause I just got into it recently.

5:38 You're super close. Just sink your hips down a little further, bring those knees over the toes. That will fix your lower back. Your upper back you just engage your lats by pulling your shoulders down and back. You'll be able to lift a lot heavier and it will feel more powerful. A deadlift is more of a squat than a pick up.

[Lengt]

Good points Sage, and you are right - weight training / lifting weights and core excercises do a multitude of things: burn more calories with increased muscle mass and more explosiveness in your strides in running, it helps with endurance and stamina, with better form and, less injury.

Great TTT as always! Question: What are common things that runners should look for when analysing video of their own running?

[kathrynstranex]

Thanks Sage for the video! It was a good distraction. My home city of Durban, Pietzermaritzburg and KZN at large are on fire (where the Comrades runs through). Our country is being torn apart by violence, poverty and looting. Heavy heart.

[stesca]

Thanks for the video Sage! However I think you need to improve your form at your trap-bar deadlift. Straighten your back and stick your butt more out !

[BurnyTone]

I'm also a climber and climb once a week. I use this as my 1 of 2 strength sessions a week. It's a nice way to break things up a bit and do something else than running!

[jono]

Thank you!!! Really needed to hear this!!!!

TTT question: What are your thoughts on the "Verheul method" or "easy interval method" for training for races 800m-10k?

[matteoschiavetti]

Love to see how much you changed your mind over the years about strength training; gym is not for the juiceheads.

[markzen]

TTT: What are your thoughts on intermittent fasting for runners? How would it affect different distances and ages?

[Celeritate]

Thanks Sage!
Here's my question: If easy runs are supposed to be for recovery, light aerobic work, and limiting impact, why can't I just replace them with biking? Longer aerobic work, zero impact and muscle recovery... Seems like a better deal

[dankwon]

Hi Sage, fellow Big Red alum. Quick question - do you ever have days when you’re totally “gassed” and can’t even run a mile? I run about 4-5 miles a day, pretty light (8 min miles, nothing crazy). But every now and then, when I start running I feel completely wiped out and can’t even pull together ten minutes. I usually bounce back real quick the next day but wonder if you ever have those days and if so, how do you handle it?

[michaelmoschitta]

How do can you properly and safety train in this muggy oppressive heat.

[jono]

Been a question on my mind for a while.

[kanishkverma]

I want to run sub17min 5km race.. currently 17:20min...i have race in 1 month..so what specific training should i do now?? Please help

[joshuamaguire]

Is biking a good supplement for running during base training?

[jasonhendrickson]

If you know your deadlift form is bad why don't you fix it? You have a camera. It's easy to see what you need to correct. Increasing strength isn't worth much if you injure yourself because you won't take the time to learn proper form.

[ricodelavega]

coach sandy needs to stay in her lane. just kidding, she's obviously an expert in heavy lifting, look at those toned shoulders.
