But the study says...

***My intern told me it's time to put out some new programs...
So coming soon:

• 6 Week Pre-Marathon (Lock In) Strength training
• 6-8 Week Post- Marathon (Rebuild & Repair) Strength Training
• 6 Week Strength Training for a Speedy Summer (Quick Feet & High Power)

If there is something else you'd like to see, comment below...

Onward!
The internet can be a tough place.
There's a LOT of information and not a lot of fact checking or adjusting for nuance.
Every once in a while I'll see someone ​site a study like this. ​
Because when you're trying to grab attention (and who online isn't?)...
It's easy to say something against the grain.
Even if the sample sizes, testing period, and unknown weights would completely alter (and likely negate) the results.
So if you ever read a headline that feels off, feel free to email me and tease out the truth and/or significance of the study.


Oh and strength train.


For more than a few weeks.


With heavy (80%+ of your max) weights.


And now an exercise form tip.

If you have any suggestions, please let me know!
​

Don't feel the hammie stretch when you do Deadlifts?
If you don't feel the stretch, it's hard to feel the squeeze and easy to compensate in weird ways.
So... trying putting a book or small circular weight underneath your toes as you Deadlift.
Not enough to throw you off balance, just give an extra little stretch.
