At 61, strength training has been key to me staying upright and injury free for the past 20 years.

I'm 41 and starting my triathlon dream and honestly I'm so nervous...haha. I just got zwift and love it!! I ran 3 miles in 8:45 min intervals. Love your podcast also! Thanks

More long format vids please! This was perfect to watch during a zone 2 bike session (indoor obviously)

Totally, Taren!! I'm 82 this year, USAT and Fitness coach, as well as a triathlete. I do strength training every day; from dryland swim training (mostly core), standard strength training (upper, legs, hips, etc) to supplement my endurance training of run, bike, and swim. I do both hi rep-low weight, as well as low-rep high weight. Serves me well!

I have been dying to find a perfect strength training video as I am running for a goal pace in a half marathon coming up, and thank you for creating it!!

I have been training for a PB pace 1/2 marathon next month, but doing it with no strength.

I have realized how much it's holding me back from my goal and this video helped me tremendously.

Appreciate your work 🙏🙏

Great info. I never did regular strength workouts until I joined Mottiv. I can’t believe how beneficial it has been. Coach Craig gives different versions of each exercise so it is designed for all abilities. After a few months my posture has improved which is very helpful for running.

Good info. I completed my 1st sprint tri last summer- wanted to break out of my cycling only routine. Swim, run was intimidating, plenty of room to grow. Including strength training was the best decision I've made this year...and will continue after watching this!

Nice job as always.

Not sure what dumpy actually means because the definition means a short and stout person.

If I just want to buy the kettlebell strenght training is it thru the app??
Is it a one time payment or a monthly thing?

At 25:09 I think he means 1-2 lbs a month.
